Hey Ron great shot of your son, it is picture in the frame worthy. My Grand Son is 5 years old and he starts his hockey training today, he is playing for the Little Wings. No numbers, no names on the jersey's yet just the wheeled wing. But when it comes time I know he will want #4, that is the number that I wore in all the sports that I played and my daughter and son both wore #4 when they played sports through out high school. It's a tough thing to loose a good friend, I know I have lost a few lately and I can't seem to get them out of my head, I miss them tremendously. Any way great shot, I hope I can capture a picture like that of my grand son one day.

Watching a kid go from stumbling on skates, to playing High school hockey is a wondrous thing.
That said, don't make it his identity to you.. some kids love hockey, some kids don't.. and there's nothing wrong with that.
I knew nothing about hockey before we took him to a learn to skate when he was 6... he pushed away any coach trying to help him up off the ice when he fell... that 'f** you' attitude.
Ive seen kids that don't really want to play.. and they have parents that think their kid is the next Greztky. That never turns out well.
If he loves it, great. If not, that's great too. :)
