His little brother is starting this year too in U6.

That’s awesome.
My youngest has ADHD. It’s a big deal, and sports help him a tonne.
He played Sabrecats and really enjoyed lacrosse for the first couple years. It changed so he stopped - not a huge drama or anything sketchy but suddenly all his buddies were gone and it was less fun. Would still recommend it. His alternative was rugby. Similar physicality and it too has been awesome with a sense of community that isn’t in hockey (for us at least). Plus parents can drink beer on the sidelines

Learning to run the clock in lacrosse made my head hurt. Only downside.
