Being a Hockey Parent

Good day yesterday on the ice.... Both kids teams won, both found the back of the net. Odd the Little Man is lighting the lamp so much lately. I posted a bit back that he isn't known for his scoring, but now has goals in 3 of their last 4(JVers) and they are 2-2-0 after starting the season with loss after loss. Some type of ying/yang thing going on, the Varsity who was(is?) one of the favorites for the State Title, has lost 2 straight(one game to go before the playoffs) after starting the season winning 11 straight.

So as stated, not known for scoring, but is known for his defensive play....and apparently going into the box. Last night, visited there not once, not twice....but three times. His mother said "It's a box trick." All the parents around us were yucking it up when he went in the first time, "He just doesn't feel like it's a game if he doesn't get in there, huh." That just continued when the others happened.

The other team never capitalized on the penalties, but I stress that they will.... That said, they never seem to be terrible penalties or overtly dirty play....but Christ, 3 trips and leading the team in PM for the year....

Puck is 4 hole popping the net....
