On Friday night, the Red Rockets had their end of the year party and awards ceremony. We got there at 5:00 and they had street hockey set up in the parking lot. Those boys played until we made them come in at 8:00. They didn't want to stop to eat and the rain didn't deter them either. When they finally came in, they were wet (from sweat and rain), muddy and thirsty. Coach Jeff had all the boys gather together and he handed out the trophies and individual awards, one by one. This was so special to Harrison because in all the sports he has played, for some reason, they always give out medallions instead of trophies. He was beginning to get frustrated looking at Brennan vast trophy collection. The moment finally came.......Coach Jeff started talking about this one little boy that was "new to his team this year, but he had noticed last season on the other team." He said that he felt like this young player "will grow up to be a superstar on the ice." He also joked about "the horrible jerseys he wears to practice".....which got a good laugh from the parents. He was awarded the Future Superstar Award along with his trophy. He came straight home and added it to his bookshelf. Funny how it takes such small things to make kids happy!
