Thats what I feel like right now. I just got off the phone with my 9 year old grandson. He had a hockey game this morning. I opted to not travel in the snow we are having because I thought the game was going to be called. This was his 24th game this year and the second one Ive missed. The first one I missed wasnt on his schedule and we didnt here about it till the next day.
He scored his 24th goal which leads his team by a long shot. Hes also the smallest kid on the team. Id say 20 of his goals have been unassisted 1 on 3 or 4 breakaways from neutral ice. Today he raced the defense into their zone after a clearing pass and when the goalie played the puck he stole it from him and scored. Last week he scored on a shot falling down skating away from the net when he put in his own rebound. He stole a pass in the defensive zone raced in from right to left which is his shooting side. The goalie stuffed his initial shot and as he was falling he fired the puck to the far side of the net
Hes like a little rock star. There are 4 girls on his team and the one game I had to help him with his skates the girls were all flirting with him in the locker room. Its fun to enjoy watching him. You never know at what age kids will peak in sports so we are soaking it up.
