he has been all in on hockey for 3 years now and being cut in his last year of midget has meant a huge reset for him. He has joined the football team at his high school and had his first practice yesterday. He said he enjoyed it and wished he had had the chance to play sooner.
i really felt like the assocation did not set him up for success this year and that politics played a role in him not making it.

Which quad was he trying out for? Did he decide to play community or not at all? Kudos to him. It is crazy tough for the goalies at your son's level especially and they put so much into it. That's great he's enjoying football. My son plays football in summer as well and it was so nice to see him smiling and laughing and enjoying it. He loves being a goalie but sometimes I feel like the fun factor can get lost. It can be so intense.
