My son was into at an early age also. I dont miss the 5 or 6am practices, (the younger they are, the earlier they start. It's a right of passage for the parents when they finally make it to bantams or midgets so we can sleep in until 9 or 10.!! Ha!) But wow time flies. He is now a junior and plays on three teams. (house, high school and travel). It has been great for us, as I have stepped in as his coach for the last several years. I also have played for 30+ years and best of all his granfather still plays, so its great to have 3 generations on the ice at the same time. It's been great watching all the kids progress over the years to where they are now. Before you know it, he will be as big as my kid. This picture was after a triple overtime loss in the state high school champoinship a few months ago. For reference, I'm 6'1. Yes he has skates on, but believe me, I dont remember high school kids being as big or as hard hitting as they are today! ------>
