He is now 20 and hasn't played for a couple/few years and really misses it but the memories will definitely last a life time.

Nice card, btw.

My son is 18 and just finished his last year of high school hockey. It's been rough lol. My daughter is still playing in college though, but she's out for the rest of the season with a torn labrum. Between that and the break from Covid I'm in hard core withdrawal.

Just noticed the Ontario location (I'm slow. ;-)

My daughter played for an U22-AA team outside of Toronto for a couple of years before college.

Ice skating teacher told me my son needed another round of skate lessons before he could progress to hockey level 1. He asked Santa for skates for Christmas, so Santa better deliver. He also asked for a Krakens jersey. I told my son that Gretzky was a fantastic skater, so another round of lessons would be okay.

Skating lessons are huge. I spent almost as much on lessons as I did on team fees. There's always something to work on.
