the child really reminds me of myself back at the orphanage.  We got some hockey gear donated from a local peewee team.  From the start I don't know exactly how I picked up the game, but it just came easy.  This kid looked like I imagine I did back in those days and while I'm still early in my career there have been a few things I wish I'd known from the start.  The first is to take coaching.  When I first started playing organized hockey I never took the coach's advice and as a result spent a lot of time riding the pine and in many ways losing my love for the game to anger at coach.  The second piece of advice I'd want to impart is just to remember how it feels right now to play the game with the other kids.  I had Sly and Bentley and our friendship lasts to this day because of all those times playing together.
