Red Deer Pond Hockey
I swore on all things that I would not be a Hockey mom. I mean I like hockey, I enjoy watching it, I even enjoy a friendly game of shinny from time to time, but to be a hockey mom, yeah that wasn't something I ever wanted to do. I remember how much time my Mom had to give of herself when my brother started playing hockey, and I feel that my sister and I missed out on doing some things because my brother had hockey. Now this could be a misconception on my part, I mean I was young, like 11 or 12 when Nelson started but it was around that time that many of my extra curricular activities stopped as well. Did the two events happen in conjunction or because of one I don't know. When my first child was born we really didn't have the funds or opportunities to get involved with hockey so we tried soccer. I actually liked being a soccer mom, I enjoy the sport and I enjoyed taking my child to his games. He did well in soccer and played until he was in grade 11....
