He doesn't need me. He drives himself, packs his own equipment and definitely ties his own skates. It's a city-wide house league juvenile sorting skate, and not a competitive A-AA tryout where relationships matter as much as talent sometimes.
Nevertheless, I'm tagging along as my son goes to what might be he last minor hockey start-of-season tonight.
Just when I thought it was over, his passion for playing takes hold on two fronts this season. First, he signs on for the city juvenile league and is destined to play with a radically different group, and skill level, than he's been used to for the past five seasons.
Second, he double dips by signing on to play for the King's University College team in a league at the University of Western Ontario. Considering he's paying out only $75 to play every Monday night from tomorrow until March at the classy Thompson arena on campus, who can blame him? It's a staggering bargain compared to more than $500 for a season of city juvenile.
Both are great for the core reasons of friends, fitness and fun. When he was a little kid, making friends was the big reason for taking part in both soccer and hockey. Now that he's in university, I'm calling it networking.
