Being a Hockey Parent

Well as long as he wasnt skating in a 709 or 70 series Graf he may be okay. I think you said he wore a 703? If thats the case you are fine with bauer. 705 or 35 ending on skate is a toss up, but possibly okay. I know the boy and I both are wearing 70 series now and cant wear bauer. I heard the new nxg was supposex to be a deeper boot. Actually debating buying his next 2 skates in the same model boot just to make sure I dont go through skate issues.

Hate summer. He apparently has a good chance of making a summer tournament team. They are supposed to go down to LA atleast once though which I am not interested in doing. If I did that team though I could sign him up for a weekly skate/scrim with a seperate team and have him skating four days a week at a high level with scrims for all spring and into summer. Would kind of kill yhe need to do a camp. Trying to talk a buddy into doing the same.
