“We've got a pretty close family. Just ended fourteen years of travel hockey with two boys. My daughter was always a part of that. So there's a lot of trips to the hockey games. As I tell idiotic, stupid, youth-sport parents, it's about the drive there and the drive back, not about the trophy or how your kid played. We've always had a good relationship with our kids. You're driving with them and talking to them at the age of eight. It became this adventure and they learned to love it. You connect, you really do. It's not for every family.” YearsTwoKidsAgeGamesSportsParentTalkingBoysStupidYouthAdventureDaughterEightDrivingMy DaughterHockeyFourteenTrophiesIdioticGood RelationshipYouth SportsClose Family Author:Jeff Daniels

“Aggression is part of the masculine design, we are hardwired for it.... Little girls do not invent games where large numbers of people die, where bloodshed is a prerequisite for having fun. Hockey, for example, was not a feminine creation. Nor was boxing. A boy wants to attack something - and so does a man, even if it's only a little white ball on a tee.” PeopleIfsMenWantLittlesDoeDiesGirlGamesFunWhiteNumbersBoysExampleDesignCreationBallsHaving FunBoxingFeminineHockeyAggressionMasculineLarge NumbersPrerequisitesBloodshedTees Book:Wild at Heart Revised and Updated: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul Source: Wild at Heart Revised and Updated: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul

“There is only one way a boy can be sure to learn to play hockey - on the pond, on the creek, on a flooded lot. The foundation of hockey isn't really hockey at all. It's shinny, a wild melee of kids batting a puck around, with no rules, no organization - nothing but individual effort to grab and hold the puck.” WayPlayKidsIndividualEffortBoysOrganizationFoundationOne WayHockeyPondsBattingPuckCreeksIndividual Effort Author:Lester Patrick
