What an amazing experience!
As parents, we pour so much into our children. It was a thrill for me to watch my daughter make the starting lineup on her JV volleyball team this past season...I can't imagine what it must be like to watch your child achieve their dream of professionally playing the sport they love. It is really cool that you got to share that moment with your friend!

Got to see a friend’s kid make his NHL debut for Montreal last night
