We have THREE boys.
They all play hockey.
It's a Canadian tradition.
We are so thankful that it is
a Christian League they play in.
There is so much less pressure
in this league than boys experience in the minors.
We are not raising the next
Gretzky, Crosby, or Ovechkin.
Not even close!
What a blessing that our boys are
able to play hockey for FUN ~
the way the game should be played. :)

Austin ~ number six...playing with the "big" guys now!
Calvin (far left) and Fraser (centre) flying up the ice.
Calvin (#11) and Fraser (#15) are on the same team this year.
We were supposed to have three teams going,
but that would not logistically work with one vehicle and
scheduling...the league gave special permission for Fraser to
move up a year early.
The following three photos are of Fraser...
Calvin is in the next three...
Austin was at a practice on the night I was
taking these photos...hence the near-empty ice.
Here he is working at his game.
Thankful this Monday for the opportunities our boys
have been given since joining this league.
Continuing to number and count and practice thanks.
