And the penalty for high sticking goes to...

For the record, no baby yet...
Anyway, tonight my husband and I took our son to his hockey practice. I haven't been to the last couple of practices so tonight I could really see the improvement in Liam's skills. Most of the kids seem to have more confidence on the ice and can actually stop without having to slam into the boards! Watching a group of six year olds on the ice is funnier than going to the circus in my opinion, I haven't laughed that hard in a while! I couldn't believe the amount of competitiveness some of the kids had, including my own. They were doing little exercises where they had to chase each other around, kind of like tag but just two of them at a time. They would go around in a circle until you caught the other person. Well one of the kids got the bright idea to use his stick to trip the kid so he would win! Liam if in a game would have got a penalty for hooking and another kid would have had one for high sticking! These kids sure know how to play rough for such a young age.
I think putting our son into hockey was one of the best investments we could have made. Seeing him tonight was amazing! I'm so happy he is loving it and doing so well... Even if he is trying to be a little Tie Domi. Who knows maybe we have a Team Canada player on our hands? He's been saying it for years now that he wants to play professional hockey when he grows up and I really do believe him!
