Richard' s Hockey Game. . . .growing up fast!

 

Go Seals Go!   I went to my grandson, Richard's hockey game yesterday afternoon, out at Varsity View Sports Plex in the far west end of the city. It was a great game and the kids had a lot of fun.  Here are some pics:

 Richard is #10 and plays center.

 Good sports shaking hands after the game:

 And here come the tired team- long day after an early morning practice in Isle Des Chenes and then a late afternoon game in Charleswood.  Here are some pics of my boy:

 Not too impressed looking until Nan said something silly and then I got this reaction:

A big handsome grin with a mouthful of teeth protector.
