Hockey Jerseys

One of the most exciting parts about playing hockey for N is just getting the uniforms. In the past, he’s asked when he’s going to get a jersey, and of course I had no idea. I’m new to this sport, as well. I do see, however, almost all of the other players wearing some sort of team jersey, whether it’s Twin Valley, Pleasant Valley, Woodstock or Hanover. The question is, where and how do they get these shirts? I figured if you dished out the big bucks for hockey camp, or for that matter, the team, they’d just give them to you, but no such luck.

We knew N would be getting team jerseys at some point, they’re a team, after all, and sure enough, they are starting to stream in. First we got practice jerseys, which are pretty cool, and then they gave us the team game jerseys, one for home and one for away games. N was totally stoked. We can’t keep them, though, and have to give them back at the end of the season, but for now, he’s into it. He’s so excited, as are all of us.

Eventually they’ll sew his name on the back, and then there’s no stopping him.

Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to R Young for the pic.
