The silly season is coming hard and fast. The season of sleepless nights, phone calls to coaches, and the anxiety about where Hockey Player is going to be lacing up his skates next season.
Last season I was quite nervous, as he was making the jump from Select to GTHL for the first time when the try out season came. This year, with a years experience under his belt, and having led his team in goals scored, and coaches who remember seeing him play, I feel quite a bit more confident about his chances of being on a better squad then the start up team that he just finished with.
But it is a great big lottery when it comes to trying out for a new team because there are so many forces at play, so many internal dynamics involved that we, as outsiders to the team, will never really know until you have lived with the team for a season.
I am trying to keep hockey player skating right up to the try outs and hoping for the best.
