Hockey Tournament

Last weekend was Oliver’s last hockey tournament of the season! I will be the first to say that I definitely never saw myself as a “hockey mom”. No one in my family ever played hockey and I really felt like hockey would be just to too much for me. BUT about two years ago my baby boy gave up his dinosaurs and dragons and found hockey. He was obsessed. It was all he talked about, all he watched, and all he wanted to play. So we said, “hey. Why not?!” Since then Oliver has worked so hard to catch up to the other boys his age! He joined clinics, leagues, and extra skating lessons. He never stopped. And I swear, this was ALL Oliver!  This year his hard work paid off and he was asked to join the select team. This is something we never thought would happen seeing as he started playing so late. We all had so much fun this season! Oliver has learned so much and made so many great new friends!!!! It has been an amazing season and I wouldn’t change any of those early morning games/practices for anything! Who knows what next year will bring, all I know is that this season was amazing and we all loved every second of it! Watching my son do something he loves is incredible and he makes me proud every day. 

We all made many new friends and made so many great memories!

Second place in our last tournament! Not too bad for a newbie!!!
