03 - MINOR HOCKEY - ICE & ROLLER

HOCKEY

Ah! A sport we came to love so much; and still do. Much thanks must go to our 3 boys; Alex, Mark & Rob for giving us much pleasure & excitement over the years that they played.
When our boys got involved, one by one, we were soon hooked. This is a great sport for kids, and you really get to understand the game very quickly. We became very involved with their respective teams through the years right from the start. All three were in the non-contact house league level at an early age which any kid could play. All 3 made it in to rep; Alex to rep A; Rob to rep A, and Mark to rep AAA, and junior. We never pushed the boys, or got in to the politics of AAA and up. We often wonder though; what if------?
Both Mark & Rob played in-line, in some cases, 3 levels at a time. Mark played junior in-line most of the time, & was fortunate to play in the coveted NARCh [North American Roller-hockey Championships] on several occasions, & taking the crown twice.
I dedicate this collection to Alex, Mark & Rob; thanks for so much enjoyment
