Being a Hockey Parent

Looks like my youngest, Mitch, is going to Arizona State next year. He received a deans scholarship and the hockey coach has called and talked with his at length.

Who the hell am I going to root for when Penn State plays Arizona!?

Mike, as hard as it was I let the boys play whatever sport they wanted when they asked. They always came back to hockey. (Thank God!)

CONGRATS to Mitch!

Tempe would be a GREAT, GREAT place to go to school. I spent a little time on that campus during my college years and was floored by the talent walking around....

Awesome news. Nothing like getting a free education. Congrats on raising some great young men.


As to the sport thing.... I generally agree, but dude ITS SOCCER!!! I know I really have nothing to worry about though. If given a choice he takes the hockey stick everytime. We just have a strict no soccer policy in our house. I explained to him Soccer might interfere with hockey and he was over it. He actually has not mentioned it since that day.
