NorthernMommy and Daddy try to downplay it, but the fact is indisputable: NorthernToddler is a hockey nut. He loves the sport. There are games of kitchen hockey that last hours. He plays hockey with Tommy when they're out on the playground at preschool. He jumps around uncontrollably when he's at a "real" game and is cheering the players on. He wants to play hockey when he gets bigger. Specifically, he wants to be a 'goaler'. (That's his word for 'goalie'.) Toddler thinks that his Bruins are way better than Daddy's Capitals. (He'll learn...)
When the Northerns went downtown on Saturday to see the ice sculptures that were part of the Winter Festival, they came across a huge hockey jersey being suspended across the street. How could they pass that by? Turns out that the it was a jersey tour to raise support for the 2012 International Ice Hockey Federation Women's World Championship that will be played in Burlington in April.
Just behind the jersey was a small rink setup for kids to play hockey on. NorthernToddler seized this opportunity! No way he wasn't going to play!
NorthernToddler Heaven!
Toddler was very, very sad when it came time to leave.
