Being a Hockey Parent

We have reg season tryouts here soon as well. Been talking with the Regulators & Jr. Grizzlies. U14 & U16 Regulator tryouts are actually this weekend. No date on U18, though sounds like Jackson may start training with the U18's and see how it goes. Though I think regardless, he'll skate in the Jr. Grizzlies tryout in June.

He's skating in the Jr. Grizzlies Spring Ice right now as well. Hoping to get in the tryouts of the U18 Utah All Stars Summer League. Have talked with them, but their plans are coming together slower than expected, should know more Thursday.

High School Summer starts in May. I've been approached about being the HS Hockey team trustee....

Little One is in Skills Clinic once a week, alonge with private power skating once a week. Summer 3-3 Starts in June...

Thought this was the off season.....

Man, my head is SPINNING......... So I was told a month or so ago, Jackson would be a U18 kid.... After talking with a guy today, he was saying...."No, he'll be a U16 kid."

I have ANOTHER email out trying to get more clarification and cannot seem to google an answer..... WHAT IS THE AGE BREAKDOWN???????

He is 15 as of today.....he turns 16 mid June.... Birth year '96..... So January 1st 2013 he will be 16 years old...

Nevermind, if I am reading this right....come the next calendar hockey year(Sept.-Aug.), as a '96, Jackson will be a 2nd year Midget(U16)....
