Hockey camp, even though I’m still nervous, is looking like a success! I was nearby between appointments, so I stopped in for a peek. He is volunteering and engaging... I’m not even sure that he had noticed that I am here... and that’s a very good thing! ❤️ He is the tiny guy in the white helmet down front in the group picture... and yes, his jersey is mostly covering his shorts. 🤨 And now I’m sneaking out... they have lunch, swimming, and on ice games to go! #hockeycamp #hesa2012 #smallbutmighty #sillyworriedmom #theytoldmehewouldbefine #mitehockey #instahockey #hockeyplayer #hockeyplayersoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ygucUBOwW/?igshid=fgxmf79o5zs8

Had some awesome hockey this past week that culminated with an opportunity for my Little Man to try out the goalie position (since he finally is big enough for the gear). He was just going to practice it, with a plan to play the position in a game this coming week... but about half an hour into that, we got word that an in house team needed a goalie (and a few players) for a game. What an awesome opportunity to learn and grow. ❤️🏒 #mitehockey #mitehockeyplayer #hesa2012 #smallbutmighty #hockeyplayersofinstagram #instahockey #instahockeyplayer #growingskills #trysomethingnew #trynewthings #activekids #travelhockeyplayer #offseason #hemakesmeproud (at The Patriot Ice Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0eFzjOFNIJ/?igshid=xgca8ley51by

Hockey players gotta “hockey”... even if he is at the beach! We love this roller hockey rink, and spending time there with his cousins, dad and Popi only make it better! #hockeyisforeveryone #instahockey #hesa2012 #fuelinghispassion #healthylifestyle #hockeyisawayoflife #mitehockey #offtheice #stickhandling #vacationdays #familyvacation #proudmomma (at Grand Park Athletic Complex) https://www.instagram.com/p/By_uGD6lT-p/?igshid=1skzfvvg4kegl

More pics will be coming but THIS kid makes is endlessly proud and I had to share! He played hard all weekend long... and is basking in the results! He played B and A level in a tournament... that meant double the games... and 2 medals... along with all of the pride! 2 hat tricks on Saturday, plus 8 more goals and many assists... he never gave up or showed that he was worn. His teams worked just as hard. They were ALL tremendous. 🏒 💕 #mitehockey #mitehockeyplayer #hesa2012 #alwaysdoyourbest #alwaysgiveyourall #mitemeltdown2019 #proudmomma #busybaraldis #reallife #22weloveyou #twiceasgoodas11 #instahockey #hockeyplayers #hockeyisforeveryone #42lbsofhockeylove (at The Patriot Ice Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byg4HdHFQNU/?igshid=102x2bkcl4s8e

Preparing for his first time in net. He hasn’t even played goalie in practice... but this kid has no fear! We believe it is just for one period because they try to give everyone a chance. We will see what they do! 🤔 #hockeyoffseason #hockeyintheair #instalacrosse #silverbacklacrosse #hesa2012 #reallife #busybaraldis (at Appoquinimink High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwPg4gQlgeu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bsb7ohw1ax4y

Everyone needs a little Mini Johnny Hockey in their life! More pics coming from his weekend tournament! He was AWESOME! His entire team played like superstars. After some rough reffing calls, they came in 2nd place. #mitehockey #mitehockeyplayer #instahockey #hesa2012 #hardonthepuck #picmitehockey #mitetravelhockey #22iloveyou #livinghispassion #proudhockeymom #flightonice #miteflightonice #goingforgold #goalgetter (at The Patriot Ice Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4QtfilyUU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oqm67wbz54iz

Just a few pics of my crazy hockey player today! I am so glad to have these photos to remember when he was/is so small. I know he will be bigger before we know it... no doubt he will likely still be small in comparison to his peers, but just growing up. I recall so clearly when his older siblings were 6, and I suddenly turned around and one of them will be 21 in a few months. 😳 Anyway... my tiger on the ice! He really gave it his all today regardless of what he was facing. ❤️🏒 This momma is endlessly proud. #mitehockey #mitehockeyplayer #instahockey #proudmom #hesa2012 #doyourbestbecausethatisthebestyoucandoanditwillalwaysmakemeproud #mitepatriotgold #patrioticehockey #smallbutmighty #neverbackdown #hattrick (at The Patriot Ice Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtclcLIFM4j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wnmligahfu8a
