It was hard at times and yup it’s damn expensive but again wouldn’t trade it, it’s what he wanted and I’m proud of him. We are in our final year of U18, can’t believe the journey is over.

Another side benefit that parents often ignore is you have now created a future where your son/daughter can probably play hockey for free for life. Everyone is always looking for goalies. And if they are interested they can even make some money by being a rent a goalie. I am always jealous of those guys as I fork over another $20 for an ice time lol.
