For me, playing for fun was only ok and my body broke down pretty quick after logging some hard miles.

I have a toddler daughter that is showing some interest in hockey and I really hope to instill in her that we play hockey for fun and stop playing if it ever isn’t fun. There is nothing better than stepping on a fresh sheet of ice, but it’s ok if it loses its luster and need to take a break.

Thank you
