    “My Kid Should Be ‘The Guy’” - ”When Adults Ruin the Game”
    2026/05/06

    You ever notice this? Parents will sit in the stands… arms crossed… shaking their heads… second-guessing every decision… But flip the script for one second.

    Tryout season is here. And everywhere you go… Rinks, stands, parking lots..There’s one conversation happening: Who’s making the team. Who’s moving up. Who’s getting cut.
