Day 12: Killer Instinct

Tonight after hockey practice, Camden told his head coach that he was moving to Alaska. 

Coach is the quintessential hockey coach - short, hyper, kind of intimidating, you know. 

So upon hearing the news, Coach (who's always on the move and in a hurry to go from one hockey practice to the next), suddenly froze, changed his whole demeanor to a complete downcast face. 

"Oh....MAN." and then he looked at me and says "I'm going to miss that kid's KILLER instinct!"

Coach isn't someone to hand out big compliments if he doesn't mean it, and for a B-Team first year kid to receive one from him, that says something. 

Cam might not ever be the best player on the ice, but he has a very acute defensive talent (and instincts) that leave an impression whenever he's out there.
