he would fit in in my house with the hockey theme dog for sure.. hockey coach from squirts to high school. 2 forwards from age 6 to high school then AHL linesman till he couldnt take the chance of injury while in college. a wonderful skater.. natural couldhave been figure skater i am sure at high level but we had no money. the other one also a natural forward but didnt play high school just town hockey. did well. youngest linesman in AHL at 19 and now 52 and still working it. he even ha a fan club.. ha ha,, his second job.. does high school and college too. plus his job.. proud of my kids. daughter was a rink rat. she had no choice but enjoyed her self with the other sibling girls that went. good times at those rinks. now? too cold for me.

Great All Round Fun to watch and play (up to a point).
My youngest son did a few yr with our local boys team, started rookies at 10, it was very helpful having the Rink just a mile down the rd from my house. Me and another mother sat watching them on the ice in rookies class one sat' am, thinking We want some of that fun too😏, so we were aloud to kit-up and join their rookie classes😆, it was so fun, and a good way of keeping warm, we both already could skate ok ish.
But after a few yrs of home and traveling to away games, my son was getting fed up, plus he and I could not ignore how bitchy & competitive certain parents and even their children were becoming, with-in the same team, which knocked the fun out of it for us, and other family's too, which is always a sad state to get to I feel, so we both lost interest in partaking in it😔.

so sorry you could not enjoy parents while they enjoyed their kids playing a sport. i am biased when i say this. my hubby was the coach people wanted. he could take a mis match and make them all winners. ah the stories i could tell. all of them life learning for all the kids.. his goal was of course to win but different from most coaches. they all played no matter what the situation. winning or losing you went in. team effort. you go one you go all. and they learned that. parents initially didnt like that. gotta win no matter what. told em to take their kid off the team as that wasnt the goal.all parents got along. cause their kids were happy, they all played. and this was the second round teams who could have beat the best players. whose coach refused to play us..the kids not only learned hockey but they learned team effort. getting along. etc, one big game away they stayed up all night being together. lost the game. they didnt care.they had fun.the way it should be..

I simply wont tolerate bulling in any form. Not when I am able to speak out for another.
Several of us mothers observed certain elite aka 'privileged children' being allowed to push about and cut in front of lesser 'privileged children, repeatedly, especially during 'shot' practices (at the coach) in weekly training (we all paid the same £ for those training sessions, where all children should be treated equally).
If the skilled children aren't willing share or assist other members then they should at least allow them the same amount training opportunities.
How can children be enthusiastic, expected to improve & enjoy training/learning/perfecting skills and games etc when favored children are 'permitted' to put them down & push others to bk of cues repeatedly.
One particular privileged mothers tried to get in my face once (to scare me with her air of authority), I calmly looked her in the face and said 'it's a Game' and bulling is Not acceptable. She did not expect that!
