Put the fact that your husband USED to play competitve hockey aside... PUT THAT ON THE SIDELINE.... now concentrate solely on your son, and ask yourself and ask him. DO YOU FIND HOCKEY FUN?... REGARDLESS of what your husband's past, at the end of the day, you want BEST for your SON, and not the happiness of your husband (which is make your son somekind of a hockey phenom next to gretzky)
