One of my colleagues is an
enthusiastic, hair-pulling, encouragement-screaming, and very proud hockey mom!
Lines from Robert Frost’s
poem Stopping By the Woods on a Snowy
Evening include the words “and miles to go before I sleep”… ‘Nuff said –
the commitment of attending practice periods and games, tournaments and
hopefully playoffs is a daunting task!
The star of this family’s
hockey night adventures is a keen, swift and steely-eyed player who garners
admiration from everyone everywhere who sees him play.
He’s a goalie extraordinaire
– called up at the tender age of 9 from Double-B league to Triple A. He’s a
pint-sized tornado of activity with a maturity beyond his years. Even sharing
ice time with the other team goalie doesn’t dampen this eager beaver.
A weekend marathon recently
racked up significantly more than 1,000 km on the family vehicle – piled high
and stuffed tight with both gear and people. Just time to catch their
collective breath and they’re on the road again.
Teammates extol his prowess
and accomplishments too – just last week 36 saves in one game! Breathless
agility and demon speed in the crease… I’m a proud supporter and thrilled to be
a part, however small, of Bradley Webb’s career in the net.
Here’s Brad with NHL goalie
Kevin Weekes who played with the Ottawa Senators™….
