Positive Karma For My Son Please

[freakygar]

Thanks for all the support guys.
Jr. said it went well. Just a light skate for an hour of scrimmage. Said he played well with only a couple of miss handles.

8 returning defenseman (6 Sr's) so my hope is he make the team as a practice player for this year.

He is considered a summer recruit, one step up from a walk on :-) so it's a tough road.

Anyway it will be a couple of weeks before he knows his fate.

Thank you once again for your thoughts, it means a lot.

Hope he makes the practice squad this year if not the roster....first big step towards a spot on the team when others graduate or get injured. Please let us know how it works out, he has plenty of supporters here, Al!

Play fair, play hard and have fun Jr!! So long as you adhere to that, you will always be a winner!

Aasshat!

You know as much as I hate the Devils I would wear his sweater with pride!

Thank God there is no chance of that!

He would look good in the Penn State sweater however.

We will see, he was told today 38 guys for 28 spots. Decision by mid September.

So, I wait.

Well good news on the other son (my little one, 17 years old, 6'1" and 175lbs)!

He got a call from his coach last night and was told he will be wearing the Captain's C this year for his Junior team! He is so pumped! From a player fighting for a spot last year to the man with the C on his chest this year. To say he has worked his a$$ off over the past 13 months would be a gross understatement!
I'm very proud of him.

You guys must have spread the positive thoughts and goodwill around for both my sons!

Thanks so much!

All I want to know is where they got all that talent from? Must've been from mom!



Kidding (sort of) Al...here's hoping Jr makes the practice squad (always good lessons there!) and congrats on the new Captain!

[SHOE]

Some good vibes being sent your way, Al. Congrats to Jr. for the "C". Man, I'm pumped over that!!! (and we don't even have hockey down here) That's freakin great!

(How did I miss this?)

Al - Both your kids are blessed with their moms good looks and your stubborn refusal to accept anything less than the best effort they can give. It's a winning combination that will serve them well on and off the ice.
