Here we goal again

It just doesn't seem that long ago...

since we stood in the cold shivering... three nights a week... wondering why we inflicted this extra level of hecticness on our already busy schedules.

And yet here we go again. Hockey season is back.

It actually started a week ago, but this was the first time I remembered a camera. At Monday night's practice, as the kids skated around cones and played sharks and minnows, there was a new guy on the ice.
Jeff decided to join in the fun, chasing kids through the drills.

AJ seems to have picked up where he left off last season. Already the kids are practicing skating backwards and attempting crossing their legs over as they skate. To be sure, AJ still spends plenty of time flat on the ice.

But he's getting the hang of it and still having fun, and I'm willing to stick with this as long as that's the case. I shouldn't really complain, not yet anyway. Come January we'll be moving to outdoor practices, which means much colder nights and even busier schedules. That's when we add in flood nights and concession stand duties. Compared to that, we've still got it pretty easy.
