Being a Hockey Parent

That's a tough one.E.J. I see your point, but parents will just as quickly say I don't have time or can't dress them at home. The other thing is your now the person asking the whole team alter the behavior which is part of the game. You may also see backlash from the boys who have to accommodate. I know Micah has begun to become more modest in the locker room as he approaches 6. I would attempt to accommodate the parent who asked, but know some parents who wouldn't. I guess just email the coach and ask. I have not dealt with this yet, but if a parent asked me I would attempt to accommodate and have parents put bottoms on early. You are always going to have parents who show up last minute though and this will likely never work smoothly.

Tell those damn kids they need get off the grass. Ahhh to be young again. Youth is wasted on the young.

Boy is happy I am burnt out.
THURSDAY~SUNDAY he was on the ice everyday and played roller on Saturday and Sunday.

I am done. Laying on couch, wife is not bugging me to do anything. Micah is still going hard running around the house.
