Proper shin and elbow pads, plus a jersey one of the coaches gave him last week and T is starting to look like he means business.

At the public skate after class he keeps his shin pads on and starts going to his knees and sliding like they taught him in class today, but that’s not good in the crowds so I have to tell him to stop.

So now I have a dilemma.  I want to get him more ice time so he can practice what he’s learning, but he can’t do those things in public skating.  The staff recommends taking him to skate and shoots, but I’m a little wary of that. Those’re going to be full of people who already know how to play and he’s barely starting out.
