“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

“Our two biggest rivals had adjusted their whole season to this one aim of beating us. Of course, it is a big compliment that they were so motivated to stop us but it was very tough to face two matches like that so close together.

“I'm hearing in youth sports where you're not allowed to post scores of games online; everybody's gotta get a trophy. I mean, that's ridiculous. If you're a winner, you're a winner and you get a trophy. If you got second place, you don't get anything.” IfsMeanGamesSportsYouthHearingRidiculousPostsWinnerScoreOnlineTrophiesSecond PlaceYouth Sports Author:Carli Lloyd
