Friday! Morning, all. Crazy weather here... raining at the gym, dry but thundering here at the office.
Hey JoJo!
Hey there, Shaun. The boy has his first "real" hockey tonight. Gotta swing by the arena after work and pick up his gear and everything.
Nice! How's he doing? My son is still skating once a week during the summer, still loves it
They closed the rink for the past three weeks or so for maintenance but we got him roller blades to practice outside. Asks to do it almost every day. Not nearly as quick on the skates because he doesn't really move fast enough to glide, but he enjoys it. Doesn't complain when he falls, has a good attitude about wanting to keep trying and practicing. So gotta hand it to him, he's doing well. We'll see how much he enjoys it now that it's 'real' and not just randomly skating around a rink. I doubt they do much of anything resembling hockey, though, similar to the "soccer" he did a year ago.
Sounds good, he'll love it. You get to score goals, they come along quickly. At first it won't really resemble hockey but it's great to watch how they improve rapidly
AH, yes, shooting is his favorite part in the driveway. Have to check my ego at the door for now and let him score some, but in a year or so I'll be slapping his shots in to the neighbor's yard.
