My Kindness Only Goes So Far

A little girl in the local Learn to Skate program with my son is in need of a new stick. My son just turned 5, and she appears to be about the same age, maybe a year older. They both just past their Hockey Skate 2 evalvs and are due to move up to Hockey Skate 3 this week where they will get to start stick work.  Both her and my Son were at the "Try Hockey Free" program this weekend, and this was each of their first time on the ice with their sticks. We noticed she has an old wooden stick that is quite a bit too short for her (falls several inches below her chin). There's nowhere to buy Hockey Gear locally in northeast Florida, so her parents started looking online to find her a new one. My Son ended up with an extra stick that has only seen a little bit of living room hockey, so we offered it to her. 

Well here's the issue. Her and her parents are big Bruins fans. She's always wearing a Bruins jesery, and her parents always have Bruins gear on. Other than that, they seem like good people. They were excited we offered it to her. I told them I would bring it to practice this week and that I would rewrap the blade so they could tell their sticks apart easier (and wanted to get her some pink tape like her current stick) But I couldn't just leave it at that, and figured I needed to do something to represent my allegiance to the Blues. I'm sure they'll discover it next time they rewrap the stick. 

TL;DR. Little girl that is a Bruins fan needed a new stick for Hockey practice. My Son gave her one he didnt need. But I decided to bury the Blue Note under the blade wrap, because you know, they're Bruins fans and I think I'm funnier than I am. 

Edit: Typos

This, my friend, is an absolutely beautiful thing. Its so perfectly “hockey “! Stick taps to you!!

Ha! That's awesome! Make sure to update us when they find it.

This seems to be your only option. Hopefully they appreciate it! 😂

Keep up the good parenting!
