EJB 488 Report post Posted October 7, 2014 Feeling super Proud Pappa today, as my daughter was named a captain(A) on her U10 Squirt travel team. It would not be so much a talent or leadership level that I questioned if she’d get the nod, I assumed there was a solid possibility. I very much thought she would fill the post well, she’s a natural leader and is one of their best players, usually the kid coaches have demonstrate drills/power skating. But being an '05, first year U10 (though she played for this team last year) & the only girl on the team, I wondered of the boys would vote her in(silent vote). It was announced last night and she was on cloud 9, which maybe is the best part, her excitement and pride. We had a nice celebratory dinner. Now time to wear it right. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazyhick 19 Report post Posted October 18, 2014 Absolutely awesome night as I jumped on the opportunity to sharpen skates for a major D1 school tonite and tomorrow on the road also. A super experience for sure. Can't wait for the bus ride tomorrow. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sepansk4 12 Report post Posted October 19, 2014 A buddy of mine I met playing hockey 2 years ago referred me for a new job and I am in the final stages of the interview process. :)Definitely something I am extremely grateful for regardless of how the hiring process goes. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badger_14 601 Report post Posted October 20, 2014 One of the evaluators for our practical skills assessments (EMT-Basic) found me during lunch today to specifically tell me I was doing an excellent job and was among the best he'd seen in either class group. Still plenty to work on and practice of course, but it's a nice confidence booster. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CathyGo 15 Report post Posted October 25, 2014 Got through a whole lesson without any foot pain! And got my first crossovers! Can tell my feet are working hard and still have a ways to go before they feel solid the whole lesson but the pain is gone. Just fatigue and some very slight cramping that I think will go away as they get stronger.I switched back to the Superfeet and re-baked them at home last night. I was super careful. Used an oven thermometer, constant monitoring, oven turned off and temp stabilized before skates put in, etc. After baking and once they had cooled on my feet for 15 minutes I tied them again when I took them off. That seems to be the secret to not having the top part flare back open. I was really conscious of fighting my pronation and keeping everything straight and centered on the blade.I also switched to going barefoot in the skates. Just felt better that way. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MThockeydad 469 Report post Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) My youngest daughter had Peewee practice last night. Sent her home for dinner. Bantams were scrimmaging their coaches and they needed a goalie, so my 1st year Peewee ('03) kiddo came back to the rink to play in net against the '00-'01 Bantams. She had some fantastic saves, and they only lost 3-5 I got my rookie adult program off the ground last night and we had 15 adult hockey hopefuls show up--INCLUDING MY WIFEY! She's the cute one in the white helmet/white jersey in the 2nd row. I'm the ugly one in the back with the white helmet and tan jersey. I'm smart. I had a couple of the assistants coach my wife while I coached their spouses. Edited October 31, 2014 by MThockeydad 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve_v3 289 Report post Posted November 18, 2014 It's been a while since I've posted anything but it certainly a good one. I had my second liver transplant on November, 7, 2014. I had a recurrence of my liver disease, that required my first transplant on 6/20/07, back in January. Once again I was very fortunate that things went the way they did.Can't wait until I can get my life back to normal. Hopefully back to work in 5-7 months and followed by a return to the ice shortly thereafter.The surgeons had to make the incision bigger to accommodate the new liver. A total 46 staples 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
