Hockey and the path we travel

Hockey has been a big part of my life ever since I had consciousness.  I have played, coached, refereed and have been a spectator.  I think because of me being a student of the game my kids have taken a liking to the game as well.  They both have played refereed  and have volunteered in our minor hockey association to mentor younger players.  My younger son wants to become a sports announcer and at 14 none of us will argue with him about hockey, he understands the game better than most, and is a master statistician.

I am a believer in nurturing kids and people and this will put them on the right path in life. I have never pushed my kids into anything in life.  I have always encouraged them to do what they feel is right for them.   So far I have been proud of their decisions.

I am now in my second year of I Ho Chuan and the effort I am putting in is starting to be recognized by my kids. They are asking me more questions and are paying more attention to the training I am doing at home. Additionally they are asking more about what class I am going too.  I don't know if this path that I am on is for them, but maybe at some point they may see the same value as I do and may choose to travel this path.
