My son (not in this picture) has recently started playing on his high school’s hockey team.  Its their first year and things are going well considering how young the program is.  I’m trying to take shots during each game and share with the parents.  Its quickly becoming apparent that hockey is the toughest subject I’ve tried to shoot yet.
