Youth Hockey Parents

[Type-A]

Are there any Youth Hockey Parents out there that want to tell me what I've gotten myself into? 

My youngest son (7 years) just had his first experience with REAL hockey after taking "Learn to Skate" last year and this year taking one 6 week course on "Learn to Play Hockey" at the YMCA in Oshkosh.  Last night he got to practice with the Warbirds (Mites - not the big kids) and he loved it.  So next Tuesday night is when they evaluate the kids to determine which team (by experience/skill set) they will be on.

BS....Hockey parents have to be able to drive all over gods creation in the middle of the winter...regardless of weather.  I think Russ has a very suitable mode of transportation for that (and hauling a bed full of hockey gear...who cares if it snows on that stuff....it stinks anyway.)

And remind him to keep his head up. One eye on the puck, one down the ice otherwise this is what can happen.
