I’m so glad his mom agreed to sign him up for the team

He deserves the best

That’s sweet

My uncle bought me my first pair of skates

I was wondering how you got into hockey, given your dad and all

Yeah, it was my uncle Blake. Haven’t seen him in a while, but he taught me how to skate, took me to my first game

Why haven’t you seen him?

It’s a long story, but basically, he’s struggled with addiction. He’s out in California, has been most of my life

:( I’m sorry

Have you gotten in touch with him yourself?

My dad would lose his shit if I did

I guess skating was always in the cards for you

Between the hockey coach father and the professional figure skater mother? Yes, there was some inevitability

You specifically?

It must be cosmic payback for last season

That’s awful philosophical of you

I can’t even drink after the game b/c my room is next to your dad’s

LMAO that’s hilarious

The real tragedy is it means we can’t have phone ?!

What’s that favorite word of yours?

Oh, yes. Incorrigible

You’re incorrigible

But you’re right, that sucks. Guess you’ll just have to imagine me using my new toy ;)
