My oldest son, who is a real hockey nut, gave up the sport for the good of the family. His little sister has developemental/learning/physical issues and his younger brother has ADHD, so all the extra time my wife and I have is dedicated to the 2 younger siblings. We don't live in the same town the rink is at/his teamates live in, so time was a big issue for us. Once he goes to high school next year he'd be out of hockey anyway because he's going to a Lutheran High School 40 miles from the town where the rink is. He does other actvities besides hockey that are here in town, so it isn't like he's not doing other fun athletic stuff, just not hockey. But he and I both
really his the rink and the youth games a lot.

But his sister is coming along pretty good all things considered.
Younger ADHD son was removed from hockey to focus on school. He doesn't really miss hockey. He is very athletically gifted, I always wonder how far he could have gone in hockey. He too is making gains, but it's been an uphill climb. This ADHD thing is a tough nut to crack and keep cracked.
Best wishes to the Greyeagle family from the Timothy A family.
