Tim Thomas wanna be...

Colton's hockey team does a two week rotation for goalie and guess who is in the net this week?  I was really hoping the gear would be too big and we could delay this whole goalie thing at least another year but it fit and Colton was so excited to play goalie I couldn't say no.  The coaches and other kids who already played net insured me he would feel nothing so I starting biting my finger nails and watched it all with one eye opened.  He did great, saved a total of 10 goals out of probably 20-30 shots during the official game on Sunday!  Most important though, he had so much fun and kept telling everyone he was Tim Thomas.  He actually is the perfect kid to have in goal at this age because he truly doesn't care who scores on him, he just thinks being goalie is cool.  This was the first week we played another Weymouth team so it was even more exciting playing against our friends and fellow coaches.  Colton was trash talking and every time someone came near the net he would scream, telling us he hopes it scares them away...he certainly is a has character that's for sure.
