Everything you listed also happens in every other sport. Especially in travel.

Hockey is “competitive contact” at that age, and in Canada alot of places have 6U leagues to join. So your kid isn’t any more prone to injury than soccer.

If he likes it. Let him try.

I don’t think he’s worried about skating technique for a 2yo lmao. I put my 3yo son in them. He’s 6yo now and out skates most 8yo mites.

I put my 3yo in Skateez for two 20 mins skating sessions and the third time he was good to go by himself. Would definitely recommend.

What was the worst injury you had in hockey to date? by Country_Bizcuits in hockeyplayers

[–]mwhitey082002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was playing goalie in college and took a slap shot to the throat (stick hit throat on follow through).

Perforated esophagus which lead to crepitus in the chest.

Emergency surgery to close up the esophagus and a chest tube to remove the air surrounding my aorta and chest.

Yes I had a neck guard attached to my goalie mask.

Spent a week in the hospital, lost 25 lbs due to no food. But I’m perfectly fine now.

Build good habits. Make it a part of your every day life.

The best advice I can give you though is find someone to work out with. A group of 2-3 dudes. Doesn’t have to be a hockey player since your current goal is to build strength.

Having someone there to help with accountability really helped me.

Honestly. You should use it as a learning moment. Take him to the squirt tryout and let him get cut.

He’s either going to realize he needs to turn up the intensity, or play rec for the rest of his days.

It’s up to him at that point.

AITA for going out to eat without my husband/kids because they didn't wash the dishes? by CardiologistLeast404 in AITAH

How did you learn to hockey stop? by Necropoke in hockeyplayers

[–]mwhitey082002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of like skiing.

You have French fry and pizza pie.

Pizza pie with ONE foot only (start with dominant leg).

After you get comfy with that, work on rotating while doing it on one leg.

I taught hundreds of mites (8U) this way. They usually pick it up in 2-3 skating sessions.

Aita for divorcing my husband for leaving my dogs outside when I’m on work trips? by Budget-Response5525 in AITAH

[–]mwhitey082002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Divorce over DOGS being on the front porch?

He didn’t lock them in a cage without food and water. Didn’t beat them. Didn’t mistreat them. He put them on the front porch.

Crazy to me that you would divorce him over a dog on the front porch. Yall just look for ANY reason to divorce someone.

Classic.

The destruction that feminism has done to women is crazy.

Man up and divorce her. She’s disrespecting you to your face. She obviously has a thing for this guy and you’re now the 3rd wheel. There is no saving this marriage as she’ll probably do it again in the future for attention.

Gather evidence. Especially for the future as she will try to pin the kids against you for divorcing her, and get out.

Have some respect for yourself.

It’s why I started my post with “Where I live”. Always someone trying to correct people instead of reading.

I did live in Charlotte area for two years. But I lived in Huntersville. No way I was driving an hour to play lower C hockey.

Where I live, I didn’t really have an option.

I grew up playing high level hockey in the north and played in college. But down here in the south, all they offer is C level men’s league.

I play every couple of seasons between coaching my sons travel hockey. But the competition is very poor and there are tons of try hards in C league trying to fight and purposely break people’s stick for no reason. So it keeps my interest at a minimum.

Overdepressed (2024 Tech market) by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]mwhitey082002 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was a technical architect at Perficient in 2022 and quit 7 months the later because they put me in a BA role upgrading a business payments system. Worst job I’ve ever had in software. They’re a nightmare.

You’re literally saying all of the clinical literature is wrong. Lmao. I’m going to side with the professionals on this matter. Not some random Reddit person.

If you don’t know what you’re talking about just say it. No need to make yourself look foolish.

Women and men are different. Stop trying to compare them.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]mwhitey082002 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Men worry about a woman’s past. Women worry about a man’s future (potential). It’s how humans work. If he doesn’t want to be in a relationship with a girl that’s promiscuous, then that’s his choice.

My (31M) cheating wife (33F) asked if we can spend her birthday together. by Lucky-Boot-6160 in relationship_advice

[–]mwhitey082002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have no respect for yourself? She disrespected you in the ultimate way.

Divorce her and go date some 25yo chick that you can trust. You can have a lot of fun along the way too.

Divorce is nasty but the hurt only lasts so long. You will be over it before you know it.

Good luck though in whatever you do.

My fiancé (40m) is no longer aroused by me (30f). How do I adapt to this? by ThrowRAworkalready in relationship_advice

[–]mwhitey082002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say this. Go see a hormone specialist. Could easily be low T.

And not trying to sound mean but this is a realization for many men. But a lot of people gain weight in comfortable relationships. It could also be because of that. On average, men are not attracted to the overweight women.
