Alright, I’ve been sitting back, watching all these proud hockey dads brag about their kids, keeping my mouth shut (well, mostly… maybe a few anonymous posts here and there, but nothing major). But let me break my silence real quick.
My kid? Absolute weapon. Over 6 feet tall, a little lean at 160, but shredded…legs like tree trunks. This kid was built for the game. Speed? Unreal. Shot? Lethal. Plays hard, no ego, total team guy. Everything about him screams NHL material.
So why isn’t he in AAA yet? I’ve been racking my brain, and I finally figured it out, it’s jealousy. Other parents see the natural talent, the raw skill, and they know if he gets in, it’s over for their kid. Everyone wants their golden ticket to the show, and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep a real one out.
So, what’s the move? How do I get him into AAA so he can finally get noticed? Because once he’s in, it’s a done deal.
If your son can take a beating and get up each time he can for sure try u18 AAA. If he’s a weakling, don’t bother. He has to be able to take punishment. If he’s scared to battle or go in corners don’t bother you’ll be riding pine
My kid is more interested in scoring than hitting. He’s an elite athlete who takes care of himself. Eats properly, lots of protein, works out 3x’s a day and is on the ice everyday.
Is he willing to take things to that next level?
Has he blacked out in his driveway practicing slapshots at 2 AM in the dead of winter? No gloves, no shirt, just pure obsession?
Has he turned down birthday cake because he’s on a strict diet of frozen peas and pre-workout?
Has he cried in the penalty box because he wasn’t hitting hard enough?
Because let me tell you something… making it to AAA? That’s no cakewalk. That’s early mornings, late nights, and sacrificing distractions. It’s doing the reps when no one’s watching. It’s not just talent, it’s commitment, it’s discipline, and it’s heart.
