So, this last Friday, we went to a DU hockey game with Fer and Liz and the kiddos. We thought Connor would be stoked because he has been begging me to sign him up for hockey for the past few months. Every time we stop by the Fieldhouse for his soccer practice or to watch one of Sean's games, he runs over to the hockey rink to catch a glimpse. I'll ask him if he'd rather play soccer, basketball, baseball, or hockey, and it never fails...he always chooses hockey! Well, we haven't signed him up quite yet because he'll need to master skating first, and not to mention, it's super expensive! So, with that said, we decided to take him to a hockey game, assuming he would LOVE it!
It probably didn't help that we sat right in front of the band and it's probably WAY too loud for little ears, but Connor seemed pretty quiet. So, we leaned over and asked him if he was having fun and he said no. We asked him why, and he said it was too loud. So, after a while, the band wasn't playing as much and Connor still wasn't really stirring over there in his seat. So, Sean leaned over again and asked him if he still wanted to play hockey and he shook his head no. Sean and I kind of looked at each other, wondering if we heard that right. Then Sean asked him again, and he surprisingly said the same thing. So, we asked him why, and guess what he said...he said "it's too mean, it's scary."
So, with that said, I guess those hockey fights deterred him back into playing basketball and I can tell you, Sean is stoked he has his little basketball player back!

What a great idea to take Connor to a hockey game first. When I went to my first hockey game I just wanted them to stop fighting and PLAY!
