This next chapter in Blades Of Glory discusses the youth hockey programs that the vast majority of children play in before the sport begins school-sponsored play in high school. It talks about the players now playing on varsity in the novel playing, mites, squirts, pewees and bantams together.
It talks about how much store is set on which team the kid makes each year and all the politics that go into some selections.
Parents get so involved in their child's sports, almost to an insane point. They spend inordinate amounts of money on equipment and traveling.
But all of the parents say the same thing that after seeing how much their children enjoy playing the sport they would spend twice that much money.
