Told my 3 Sons that they have a better chance of becoming an Astronaut and chosen to be on the first mission to Mars than become a full-time NHL players

My kid? Absolute weapon. Over 6 feet tall, a little lean at 160, but shredded…legs like tree trunks. This kid was built for the game. Speed? Unreal. Shot? Lethal. Plays hard, no ego, total team guy. Everything about him screams NHL material.

So why isn’t he in AAA yet? I’ve been racking my brain, and I finally figured it out, it’s jealousy. Other parents see the natural talent, the raw skill, and they know if he gets in, it’s over for their kid. Everyone wants their golden ticket to the show, and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep a real one out.

So, what’s the move? How do I get him into AAA so he can finally get noticed? Because once he’s in, it’s a done deal.

Yeah but everybody knows your boys don't stand a chance.

Oh, you’re right! Every kid has a totally equal shot at the NHL. In fact, I just saw a scout at Tim Hortons recruiting a 16 year old who can barely skate but has $5,000 worth of gear. Dreams do come true!
