He did pretty well, but he is not used to skating in all of the equipment. About 25 minutes into it he had a little meltdown and came over to where Rob and I were watching him and he was crying. He said he didn't want to do it anymore. Rob took off his chest protector/shoulder pads and put on his smaller jersey so he could move more freely and he was happy. I think it will just take some time to get used to :) It was nice because I got to watch him. Usually I'm in the warm lobby with Mason trying to see him, but can't. Saturday the nurse who helped deliver Mason was there with her kids so she watched Mason for me so I could go watch Justin.
He called it quits about 10 minutes early. The poor kids legs and ankles had to be killing him! He was pooped! He sat down to get his gear off and I told him how good he did and he said that he didn't do good because he fell down a lot. It broke my heart to hear him think that he didn't do good! I showed him the video I took (see below) that shows him scoring goals and he thought that was pretty cool so now he wants to go back :)
AND.....his dad is his head coach! Rob signed up to be an assistant coach this year, but Zac (guy in charge of the league who Rob plays on men's league with) said that he needed another head coach and asked Rob to do it! So he'll be head coach and have two assistant coaches to help him. It should be interesting - 11 kids from ages 3-6; many who have never played hockey before! Oh, and Thermosystems (my company) is sponsoring his team so Justin will have a Thermosystems jersey on at his games...how cute!
