Year ‘Round?

I realize that it may be difficult for the kids to play hockey year ‘round (maybe even undesirable), but in the interest of playing game, at least for our kids, it all boils down to getting ice time and practicing the game. It ain’t easy playing catch up, but as long as you’re having fun doing it, why not?

With this in mind, I was thinking that even if you can’t play all year, you can get close. Close enough, at least. The season ends at the beginning of March, but you can do spring hockey until April. Then it’s lights out for ice time. In June, the ice returns and there is hockey for a couple of months, then it goes away in July/August. By September, the ice returns again, and then by October, you’re back in the swing of things.

You can’t skate every month, but you can get pretty close. Close enough to where you can dabble in other things, get some balance in life, then just when you’ve gotten hockey out of your system, you can jump back in. How cool is that?

This should be an interesting year. Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Bl@ck Coffee for the pic.
