Hahah for real!! And yeah skating with him was always the most fun I’ve had. Esp when he got better and could start deeking by me when I wouldn’t expect it. Haha you know how that is, you got burned, but.. that’s ma BOY right there!!
Haha and yeah it got even more expensive when my wife wanted to start playing. 2 adults worth of gear (cuz I still played Men’s/beer league at that point) plus most of the kiddo’s ery year cuz he’d outgrow stuff in what seemed like 5 mins.
I miss those days, He stopped playing in recent years and does track now which, while it’s not my bag, there is SIGNIFICANTLY less gear needed.
