Hockey is about being tough. Grrr! I want Elise out there slamming the opposition into the boards. Bam! I see my granddaughter as the enforcer - the one who teaches the other team not to mess with her or hers. If that means skating at 3 AM then toughen up and go to it.<BR/><BR/>Wait that isn't how I imagine my granddaughter. Let some Canadian boy with a broken nose and missing teeth do that.Karlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02685014190989905189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685759408151060633.post-75933211165264586242009-04-05T12:19:00.000-07:002009-04-05T12:19:00.000-07:00That's a good point, Aunt Linda! Dunno when the ice times are, but classes are very convenient. I've seen some adult leagues with crummy times, but maybe should be paying close attention to what the kid hockey schedules are.<BR/><BR/>I know the figure skaters get the short end of the stick ice-time wise, so we're going to stay away from that just on principle. ;-)SWEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05567663448928052303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685759408151060633.post-70466822759732929072009-04-05T10:38:00.000-07:002009-04-05T10:38:00.000-07:00My big question with hockey, or anything on ice, here is when is your skate time. It seems as though in this hockey crazed town, the younger and less male you are the weirder the ice times. I know moms and dads who drag sleepy kids out of bed at 4:30 to suit up to be on the ice by 5:30 or some other ungodly hour. Maybe I am simply not a big enough fan but there is no way you would have ever found me regularly getting up in the wee hours--as in weekly or even two or three times a week--for any sport that my kids might have interested my kids.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I got up for special trips to who knows where and even pretended to be really excited about it. But week after week after week--I doubt it.<BR/><BR/>Bravo to you if do!Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09689951037763602566noreply@blogger.com
