HI there
The main goal of my blog is to share the journey of my painting. A huge part of my life and painting is my family and the journey we share together. Here is a part of the journey we have been on for the past six months.
Our hockey season ended yesterday.
It has been an incredible journey this past year. Robson was in his second year of Bantam and really found his place on the team. From being a passionate team mate to fast skater, tape to tape passer and a sniper with his goals, he has had a memorable season. The culmination of his season is his team won the Bantam Tier 1 banner yesterday in Medicine Hat, part of the Central Alberta Hockey League. Robson’s first banner in 8 years of playing.
As I sit here this evening reflecting on the past two days and the season overall, it is with a bit of sadness. His season is over. His hockey future is uncertain at this time.
What is certain is that the drives thru snow storms and hanging out in chilly arenas may have come to an end. The taste of the best breakfast sandwiches in smalls Ville Alberta is history. The countless stops at Tim Hortons, Edo and Subway are behind us. The alarm clock ringing at 5:30 am so we can get up and drive 400 kms. for a league game (and then drive back) are behind us. The lament “Dad, I forgot my neck guard, or shin pads or elbow pads” is in the rearview mirror. I will miss it all.
Just for fun, I went on to our CAHL website and added up some statistics. We live closer to BC but we play in the Central Alberta Hockey League, and play teams from Medicine Hat and Lethbridge. Here are the numbers for our team;
Won 15 games
Tied 4 games
Lost 5 games
From Banff we travelled 5,247 kms/return to all our games
As 2/3 of our practices were in Canmore we travelled 2,200 kms.
It was a great year. Thanks to the coaches, parents and most of all the players who helped to make it so much fun.
And Thank You Robson for making me a hockey Dad.
