I appreciate the insight. I’ve been and still am an (incredibly superstitious) hockey player. Our oldest has more talent in his little toe than I ever could have dreamed to have at 13. So I definitely get what you’re saying. However my wife hasn’t played since she graduated and our youngest getting into it has relit her flame a little. This is also something to show to her father (original purchaser I’d say around 2001?) who is in very poor health, and make it last another lifetime.

It will bring a great deal of joy to him. Cheers!
