The Tiniest Hockey Player [Sports Photography & Recreation Pictures]
Uploaded: January 30, 2012 03:43:50
----
This little guy is not quite two years old. He has two older brothers in the hockey program; so the sport is definitely in his blood!
----
But, so far, he cannot stand up on his skates, nor can he propel himself across the ice on his own steam. We watched as the coach patiently stood him up and pulled him around on the end of his own stick. The coach also skated him around holding the little guy in front of him.
----
But in the end, the tiniest skater was just plum exhausted and decided to lie down on the ice (see discussion area).
----
If anyone was following yesterday's thread--No...I wasn't hit by a hockey puck--one of the coaches stood near me and deflected pucks that were coming my way. But I WAS hit by a teenaged player who had taken a fall and a fast slide in my direction. I was uninjured!

He's a really cute little guy, Michelle! Makes you wonder about the parents though and if they are pushing him into something he doesn't really even understand let alone all the money they spent on equipment which he will surely outgrow very quickly. #9955765Nadine A. Lewis January 30, 2012

Terrific colors and clarity!!Brings back great memories when I was coaching young hockey players. Noticed one lying on the ice and skated over to see what was the problem and was told he was watching the overhead lights,:) #9956446

My favorite - he is just adorable! What a great expression on his face - and I love him lying down. I don't ever remember kids THAT young out there in complete regalia! #9958246Craig D. Minton January 31, 2012
Can't help but smile viewing these, Michelle. As youths, allot of us fell victim to overhead light gazing of some sort. David brought back some memories. #9958406
