This blog will be used to chart the career of my son as he gets into playing hockey. We are fully supporting him as much as we can. He wants to play like the teams on the tele. By this he means in the NHL.
We are based in the UK, so if he does want to make it, he will have to make history and eclipse the greatest British born and trained player ever. Tony Hand.
Lucas was 1st inspired to get into hockey properly at the age of 3, when he was taken to see Manchester Phoenix take on Peterborough Phantoms at the Altrincham Ice Dome on 9th January 2010. He was given a puck by Phantoms player Joe Miller (#19).
Since that day he has lost all interest in other sports and only wants to watch the Ice Hockey. This has got to the point where he cries if we put on kids TV, demanding instead he had the hockey on.
We recently moved from Liverpool to Southend, therefore his local team is now Romford Raiders. It was thanks to a trip to Rom Valley Way that he now owns his 1st pair of Easton Gloves and a Reebok Stick. He also has his 1st pair of Rollerblades and Ice Skates]. Next step is to get his confidence up on the ice so the Romford Rascals will allow him to start training.
So there you have it, a small introduction. Hopefully this blog will last for years and years and will end up being a part of history as Lucas' makes it all the way to the NHL.
His favourite player?

Nice blog!
ReplyDeleteGo for it, Lucas! My biggest regret is that I never played ice hockey when I was young (not a huge regret, as regrets go), but if you keep up the good work, there's no reason you can't make it to the top!
Zetterberg's one of the best two-way forwards in the game. Try to be like him and the sky's the limit.
