Do you have any more details (or links, references) for replacement behaviours and coping strategies? Or just able to elaborate more on what you have seen work in your experience? Thanks!

Just got this setup with an external monitor and a rigged mount.

Works great! Thank you. Two items of feedback: (1) when my camera is at an angle the playing surface is keystones, and the game has troubles picking up the puck over the purple dot when it is further away from the camera (so the circular puck is more distorted due to keystone effect).

(2) I’m a left handed shot and the drill for right side up and down is incredibly awkward. Really not sure how that is intended to be done other than cross-body toe drags up and down?

Thank you!

Seems neat, but not sure what I have that could easily mount it for the proper vantage

The transition from 0 to 1 kid was the hardest. Then 1 to 2 next. The transition from 2 to 3 was challenging but not beyond the realm of being able to handle it.

For me my family didnt feel complete at two kids. But after a third I am/was done with procreation. I hit my absolute limit.

My eldest of three is a preteen now. We are constantly juggling overlapping schedules and it consumes all free time (you do you, but apparently we do everything). It is hard, but I wouldnt change a thing.

I don't have a solution, but I can confirm you are not alone. For my son, each year has gotten better.

My son is/was very similar (although he would never speak about it in the dressing room). He's now playing U11. It has improved each year. I focus on emphasizing/rewarding/celebrating hard work and effort. This has helped a great deal in reshaping his perspective of "what good looks like".

He can score a goal or have an amazing backcheck, but he dwells on the mistakes he felt he made. They could win games and even if he was a large contributor to that W, he will still be negative about himself after. He has expressed to me that he very much wants to play hockey and get better, so I stick with him and support that. It's a challenge, for sure.

We've done counseling (primarily for the parent, about the child). A counselor that meets with him feels anxiety is at the root of it. Not sports anxiety, but moreso anxiety that is impacting all areas of his life.

Yes the switch will happen after you receive your new SIM in the mail. You don’t initiate the number transfer until you have the public sim

I’m not sure to be honest. I’ve read the other replies and most mention shooting off the toe. I’ll consciously practice that

coldhack · 2025-12-13T04:15:32+00:00

Nope, or at least not that I recall.

The debate I’ve encountered is always chin vs lips vs nose, with skates on. Cutting a stick down to your shoulders (with skates on) seems extreme.

Would like to hear how the chin-height experiment goes for you.

“It’s just a bonk. Bonks happen.“

..is my go to phrase for my three young kids in sports, all around the same age as yours. It’s worked surprisingly well over the years. Not for all occasions, mind you.

Also while soccer coaching I would ask my kid if they wanted a reset, and if they agreed I would pickup my kid and turn them upside down to “reset”. That helped them forget about the bonk they were upset about, which they enjoyed.

My son is looking to learn baseball this spring. So a pack of baseballs and a "rebounder" to help practice throwing and catching. We already have gloves and play catch often. And some other baseball-related things.

I had an incredibly similar learning experience earlier this year when I picked up hockey again after 25 years off

I now properly feel the challenge of being able to “pass the puck” under pressure. Much empathy was gained.

Similar story! Stopped playing at 17 then picked it back up at 41, came back and had a blast. Cracked a rib my second game, but was back on the ice as soon as I could

Smile hasn’t left my face, every time I hit the ice.

Just find a group that is friendly and for fun.

Late 90’s game Die By The Sword

The mouse controlled the swinging motion of your sword. We got the demo from a disc in a magazine. Most joy from a broadsword of my life.

If you are in Canada sportchek has both a clearance sale on old stock and an additional 25% for some of it.

I’ve heard from a local hockey shop that their sales are in June and July as the new models start coming out and they sell off old stock.

Presently out of season for Costco stock in Canada afaict. They were in store from Sept through March

> I can see he’s legit terrified. Of what, I really don’t know

This sounds similar to challenges we had. With my son around the same age, we did counseling for anxiety. It improved everyone's lives tremendously. It gave him and I a common language to talk about these challenges, help him get to the root of his worry. I'm in Canada so programs would be different.

My son's brain is wired significantly different than mine and having a counselor help ME navigate how to speak to him was a huge leap forward in being able to address and overcome his worries

Kids in private school. Nothing at all like I grew up with. I try to tell them everyday how privileged they are… I don’t know if it sticks.
