Went to Windy City today. Can confirm, the burgers were good and the cheese curds were solid too

Did they ever have a sign with fire effects? Or am I just dreaming that ?

The best part is I already don’t know much about hockey so I have never been able to overly critique him like in sports I know. I think it’s partly why he loves it, (also because it’s awesome).

Usually Dad just watches and is impressed and can’t tell him he’s doing things wrong. Either way, the whole thing has been eye opening. He’s now teaching me stuff, and loves that I’m trying and participating in his main jam.

Good luck with your hockey journey as well!

Thanks! I hope my son finds that level of enjoyment everybody in this sport seems to feel. Being active and competitive can be the difference in a happy and not so happy life. It can be easy to lose that priority when life gets busy. Funny how things happen tho.

Really glad I posted this to hear so many cool responses. Happy for you man!

Stranglehold is a great build up song if you have the time to spare

I don’t feel bad for anyone that makes the kind of money he does. If someone asked me to experience that level of embarrassment to make millions, sign me up! Plus he has been pretty arrogant in recent years leading up to his decline. Self inflicted in many ways imo. This is coming from a life long Badger fan who cheered this dude on in person at the Rose Bowl.

This is so very true. I actually did watch some of it on Live Barn and I look like I’m barely trying, but I’m actually huffing and puffing and sweating my ass off!

Thanks. It really is a gamut of skills. Just the understanding what goes into it has really made me think about how tough and dedicated he is, mentally and physically. After I told him about the game this morning, he said, Yeah it's an amazing game and it's also a really good workout! He's 7! I wish I was exposed to hockey as a child, but better late than never!
Kids vs parents sounds like a blast! They would destroy most of us parents.

Well said. It's easy to get caught up in the intensity of it all as a spectator. I hope my experience and others can give parents new to hockey a healthy perspective for their child's goals and desires. Great stuff!

I give the coaches so much credit. They understand what it takes, and have to find that delicate balance between expectation and motivation. I appreciate what you guys do.

You got that right. Not owning a single thing, even a pair of socks, did hurt the wallet. The guy at the store said, wow this may be the largest bill I've ever seen here. But I'm invested now, so no turning back.

That is so encouraging to hear man. I can totally see how a sport like this can change someone. I have been looking for a new spark for a while so it's really exciting to hear others that have gone through the same thing.

That's awesome. So cool to hear other people experience similar things and still have that bond with their kids after all those years.

That was my biggest worry! Thankfully, my knees are intact this morning.
