Good Morning Lodge.
I took a hockey stick to the eyebrow last night.
Working the bench in a peewee 3 on 3 game, was opening the door for a kid and he was careless with his stick. More my fault for being distracted, I'm usually good at watching for the odd swinging stick. Kid who caught me might have the least hockey sense of any kid I've seen. He's played with my son for two seasons and while I've seen worse skaters, worse coordination, etc., this kid is tops for not getting it. After two seasons of squirts he still never understood offsides (fortunately no offsides or icing in 3 on 3) and just doesn't understand his responsibilities on the ice. Nice kid, nice parents (and dad who played and still plays) but no hockey sense (or soccer for that matter).
Worst part of getting hit - I shouldn't have even been there. My kid wasn't playing cause he had soccer tryouts. But no other dads were going to be there. Not much coaching in 3 on 3, but someone has to organize a little and open doors on the bench so I went.
