Alright kid, listen up, because I'm only going to tell you this... well, any time you ask. It's kind of what a dad is for. Also, stop chewing on the table. Why am I giving hockey advice to someone who can't even tie their skates yet? The closest you've come to playing hockey is sitting in the Challenge Cup, which is honestly closer than pretty much any kid your age. Well, if you *are* listening to any of this, the best advice I can give is not to take too much advice. Play the game for as long as you love it, chase whatever goals you want, and leave it all on the ice. You'll get out of this game what you put into it, and that goes so far beyond the stats or the hardware. You'll make lifelong friends, maybe even family, and you'll have memories to cherish for a lifetime. Whatever you do, I'll be watching, and I'll be proud of you.
