I know, i know, i know what i've always said...

ok, yes i will admit that i have vehemently declared that we will never be a hockey family. and i still can say this with great certainty. but i never once said that i would completely deny my child the love of the game. yes, he is a couch hockey player. and so it is for him i am posting this tonight. i can't believe how the influence of a teacher, miss gregus you know it's all you, can turn a 8 year old boy into a crazy fan! i'm talking he is jumping on the bed, sweat is on his brow, and his legs are flailing with each save. and he's only watching! LOL yes, i have a flames fan. mom has got him the iginla t-shirt, he sports a flaming "c" ball cap, and now, thanks to deenna, i drive around with a flag flapping of the pathfinder! i can't believe the lengths i will go to, to please my child. and that is the only reason i do it. for him and his love of the game. HOWEVER, this does not mean that he will be on any hockey team next season. cool your heels people!

now how do i break the news to my poor boy that his beloved team is trading in the hockey sticks for golf clubs? poor, poor boy.
