He is slowly repivoting his life and figuring out what to do with his time.

He had hoped one day to find his way into the KIJHL and then maybe the AJ but those guys seem to rely on the quad teams in the city helping them select players and you are pretty much hooped if you are not at least in AA.

I have nothing but mad respect for those guys that stick it out and go a bunch of places and then wind up making a few dollars playing
It’s a tough thing for a dad to watch for sure - been there (minor Midget AAA to Community Midget 2!). But I can tell you there still will be opportunity if you look for it. But also might be time to play for the enjoyment of it and finish it out having fun- which doesn’t have to mean less competitive than he is used to either.
