Hockey in July

The boys tolerated (Ezra) and enjoyed (Finn) the fact that I co-opted the TV during the Stanley Cup Finals, but both were excited about the championship and asked for t-shirts. They came in the mail last weekend and a hockey craze ensued. All of our old equipment was dragged out of the basement, we ran to the sporting goods store for more sticks (not easy to find in July), and the boys played for hours.

Ezra likes to play goalie; he’s got a good crouch.

This weekend we upgraded from cardboard box goals to wood goals with built in puck blockers to make the driveway chase less likely.

I love that they’re so enthusiastic about playing because it’s such a fun sport. And I think they look pretty awesome in our gear.
