Well I can't lie. This is a pretty friggin cool time in my life. To see my son head off to an NHL training camp is one thing. For it to be with the team that I've lived and died with since I was 10 years old is next level excitement.
I tried to give Carter some old man perspective yesterday before he went to the team hotel. When he's 85 years old, he'll have done so many other things other than hockey that he won't be known as a "hockey player". So don't get too stressed or too tight. With the benefit of hindsight, wisdom and perspective, your 85 year old you would be telling you to just go out there and let it rip and force the Flames to take notice in an undrafted free agent.
Easy for me to say! Really looking forward to the next few weeks and months. He'll very obviously start with the Wranglers but would be lots of fun if he puts himself on Huska's radar for future call-ups.
