Like real, actual tryouts, for the first time in our kids' little lifetimes. Although MOST kids make one of the teams, not necessarily all do.
We've been working a little extra hard off the ice the last couple weeks on stick handling.
I don't know a ton about hockey, but I do know that Cam generally has a bad habit of skating with only one hand on the stick, which is fine when you are an adult pretending you're in the NHL, but as a first year little Mite player, he really should have that other hand on there.
And how do you teach a 7 year old how to keep two hands on the stick?
Duct tape the hands on the stick, obviously.
Camden thought this was hilarious, of course, and in the process his muscle-memory was developing on where to have his hands and keep his hands. He skated on his rollerblades up and down our sidewalk, over and over,
Can we do this with all things? Like, duct tape him to his desk at school, the chair at the dinner table, the pillow to his head at night?
Hopefully no neighbors saw him and thought that him being duct taped to a hockey stick was some form of ancient Canadian child abuse or something.
He really did have fun. I swear.
