I'm baffled ... my son has done very well in his hockey since his first year, always being one of the strongest skaters, good skills, wants the puck, etc. but he is simply not doing it this year. The competition is higher, but not so high as to make it impossible for him to score, to succeed. I hope he is going through a phase, and will soon come out of it with a new ability to battle through difficult situations. In the meantime, I watch and wait. I critique as well, perhaps too much.
Not sure if I wrote this before, but I manage the New West peewee A team this season, and this is proving time consuming, far more than I thought. In November we are heading to Oliver, BC for a tournament, and I had to arrange hotels, tournament info, and now will have to look into a bus, etc. On top of this, I have to handle game to game affairs, liaison between coaches and parents. Why did I do this?
