High School Hockey Mom

[monster]

This era started tonight! (yes, season doesn't actually start until November, he is still in middle school -which isn't out yet- but high school summer practice started).

We were in touch with coach several months ago, GoalieBoy has skated with the team a couple of times. Coach sent me an email saying #2goalie was playing out and playing so well that he planned to bring GoalieBoy in as #2 and keep the other skater out in the field. well, I guess he didn't count on all the skilled freshmen (from GoalieBoy's house team lthis year) arriving on the scene. Suddenly lack of talent and numbers is no longer the problem it was ans to-be-former-goalie#2 was back in the crease. And then one of goalieboy's teammates decided he had a better chance as a goalie. Or something. we're not sure. but padded up tonight. he was satisfyingly crap, but wtf? You don't do that the goalie who has saved your ass all year. "oh I could just throw on some pads and take your place....."

And the fundraising required is mandatory, unpleasant and political. (imaginary)toes have already been stepped on -like when you sit on an imaginary friend by accident) and unfortunately, they were the toes of the water polo coach's family. There's a rumor Polo girl's coach will also be taking over the boys' team this year. I so hope that is true so I do not have to continue to tread on eggshells around this family.

Ugh. the details are for another time, but I brought in the big guns. they've ben quiet for a while. not surw I fixed it yet, but I may have.

but GoalieBoy rocked practice tonight and despite feeling he could have played a lot better, admitted he was probably at least #2 goalie out there tomight. Which is what we rookie parents thought too.

unfortunately (ish) #1goalie's mom is team manager. But He's a senior.
