Peter played his first ever hockey game this morning. It was also the first time we had to be at the rink for a 7 am ice time (they rotate the times so that Sunday mornings are either 7, 8, or 9 am, but we missed the previous 7 am ice time when Peter was sick). They don’t keep score at this level and there’s no talk of winning or losing. I’m sure some of the kids keep track, but Peter didn’t know where the puck was half the time, so he certainly wasn’t keeping track of the scoring. When asked after the game, he said his favorite part was playing goalie. For his very first shift, he played goalie, and he played another shift as goalie later in the game (all the kids take turns). He had fun, and that’s what counts.
Yah!!! Peter’s first save!
Peter looks like he really is having a great time in goal! I hear that’s a lot of people’s favourite position.
