Nice will make a sure I take the boy.
We are dealing with a huge pile of $ hit here. The coach who my kid loves and joined the team for appears to be leaving to go play for a team in Dayton Ohio in the Federal Hockey League. So pissed. Already looking to next year when we go Jr.Sharks hopefully. M was in tears when I told him what was happening. Upside they moved him to D and he was a rock back there last weekend. Team lost 5-3 and he was +2 with 5 blocked shots and got away with 5 hits. 2 open ice where he touched puck before hitting kid 3 he tied up kid and rode him into the boards.

Who is the guy? He coming to play for the Dayton Demoz?

Ahbroody · 11-06-2013, 02:38 PM

Jeff Sanders and yes. He has not left yet. Not sure whats going on now.

E.J. · 11-06-2013, 03:06 PM

Sucks, Mike.... Hopefully it fell through and he'll(Jeff) stick around through the season.

Ahbroody · 11-06-2013, 09:55 PM

I guess the team has won its last 2 games so the guys who were going to get cut are temporarily saved. He pretty much said if he gets the call he gone. Seems just a matter of time. There is an upside. On monday the coach who would replace him ran the practice. He is a very respected skating and shooting coach. He ran a great practice. Today the mites scrimmaged the squirts. Mites lost 3-1 but M was +1. Cant complain.

LM broke his collarbone tonight... Just out of X-ray, ortho-doc hasn't looked at the pictures yet, but I'm crossing my fingers that his entire Sr. year of hockey isn't shot. Assume 8 weeks would get him back for playoffs...12, he's done. Tough news...

Horrible news. I'll pray for a speedy recovery!

Ahbroody · 11-12-2013, 08:09 PM

Prayers sent. Thats horrible. I live in fear of an injury especially with how much we all pay forthis

Ahbroody · 11-12-2013, 09:06 PM

Double post sorry.

E.J. · 11-13-2013, 09:21 AM

Thanks Scott & Mike. Seeing the orthopedist as I type....

E.J. · 11-13-2013, 12:30 PM

EXCELLENT news at the orthopedist today. No surgery and feels like he'll be good to go in 6 weeks. Assuming he heals like expected, 4% chance of re-fracture at 6 weeks. If I was hearing correctly, that 4% does not change from 6 weeks to 4 months. Goes back in 5 weeks to get cleared for the 6 week contact.

Can get back on the ice(no contact) next week, maybe 2, depending on how he is feeling.

Found this article on Facebook about a Dad watching his son's last hockey game.

Great read....and has me wanting to start driving to games with the LM for his last bit.... UGH....

Sooooo...love this sport/community/life....can't believe that 50% will be done in a few months....

E.J. · 12-09-2013, 03:58 PM

Both the U10 boys and U12 girls had wins this weekend.....

GOAL!!!!

Still waiting for the LM to heal up.... Crossing my fingers that he's cleared/healthy at the end of the month.

Ahbroody · 12-29-2013, 08:23 PM

This year has been a mix of awesome and crap. On the ice an average of 5 days a week.

His in house squirt coach is a tool bag who is constantly giving his kid more ice. His kids got to be -16 on the year. Second year squirt and the kids horrible. I think someone complained to the league as he sent out an email saying he would do a better job making sure everyone would get equal ice. M is leading his squirt inhouse team in scoring. Not bad for a second year mite playing against almost all second year squirts.

His travel mite coach continues to miss occasional games leaving one of the dad's to coach. M plays primarily D on his mite team. As a whole i am happy with his development of grasping gap control and stick and body position.

E.J. · 12-30-2013, 06:55 PM

Coaching is so critical, Mike.... Can make a night and day difference in development and how much fun the kids have. Not to mention the frustration level of the parents.

E.J. · 01-06-2014, 05:59 PM

LM Back on the ice...FINALLY!!!! 8 weeks....a long 8 weeks.

The Little One continues to crush with her U14 girls team, but just blends with the U10 Boys. Couple pics w/ the girls team this past weekend, where she had a hattie.

My kids team played a couple outdoor games this weekend in Toledo. Thankfully the team decided to purchase the pics that were taken, cause these next few really encompasse the way my kid plays, I couldn't be happier with the pics, or the way he played

E.J. · 01-07-2014, 04:52 PM
