Oh, the (hockey) drama. I should have been blogging about it daily as it unfolded. Why do I continue to be surprised when grown men act in their own individual best interest than that of the youth sports program they volunteer their time for? That just about sums it up.
The silver lining is that The Big One was invited to play on a travel hockey team that he didn't even try out for, after going to House League evaluations and completely dominating. I don't say that as a proud mom (although I am!), but seriously. In every single drill, he was first or second to finish, and with style, and those top two were WAY ahead of the other 30-some-odd skaters. (The other boy was also invited to play on this travel team). So, both of these boys, who had dealt with disappointment and grown-ups who acted like children, learned that sometimes the hard way is the way. It means more driving for us, but I don't want to be the adult that doesn't act in the best interest... you know?!
The Little One also had his evaluations, and he lived up to his name. He is the smallest and youngest one out there, and let's just say, he has a lot to learn! *giggle* But I think he'll learn in no time. Playing with boys who are slightly older and better will do a lot for him.
I'm excited for hockey season, both for my boys and for my Nashville Predators! Let's drop the puck already!
