My hockey goalie son lost in his 12U little league baseball state championship today (as the catcher) and broke his big toe during warmups. While upset, he then said “well, back to the superior sport!” 🏒 🥅 #GoalieKid

My goalie kid ended the season with a .907 SV% and 8 shutouts. Donuts well deserved! 🧱 🙌 🥲 🍩 #GoalieKid #GoalieMom #BrickWall

My 24+ hour delivery one-and-done turns 12. Fiery and smart. Academic plus athletic. Driven and complex. Focused but messy. Loud yet always thinking. The best and worst of us both. Love the crap outta him. 🥅

My goalie kid was clutch at the Buffalo tourney despite only 1 win. He stopped 106 out of 121 shots. Proud of how far he’s come and how much he’s grown. 🥅 Just get a scholarship soon ok? 😉 #GoalieMom #GoalieKid #GoalieLife
Shuffling off to Buffalo for 3-4 days of kid hockey mayhem. LFG!!! #GoalieMom #HockeyLife #LFG #YouthSports #SuchARacket #GoalieKid #HockeyTournament
My goalie kid made the Vermont Futures USA Hockey team and got his new custom BAUER twig from grandma and grandpa on the same day. Hockey kismet? 🥅 #goaliemom #goaliekid #hockeylife

My goalie son was a complete utter jerk yesterday then played pretty flawlessly in the net. 🥅 Coach said to continue the streak.
Me: No pre-teen moodiness is worth a .968 SV%!!!

My goalie kid calls from school: “Hey mom. I busted my thumb during recess. Can’t go to hockey practice tonight.”
Me: “Blocker or glove?”

Our son decided to end his 6+ years with the Boy Scouts. Dad asked what he wants to replace it with.
Son: “More hockey.” 🏒 🥅

My weekends are spent in cold ice rinks filming my goalie kid stand on his head while dressed as a Simpsons donut. 🍩 Best. Crazy. Life. Ever. #goaliemom #goaliekid #goalielife #simpsons #goaliegoals #reels #inthenet #netmindermother #betweenthepipes
My smart athletic kid got all A’s for his first trimester at the new school. But he danced a literal jig in the kitchen at the A+ and “exceeds” mark for theatre. Bravo! 👏 🎭 #ProudMom #GoalieKid #GoalieMom #SmartyPants #SmartKid

A school dad to me:
“I didn’t know your son is a goalie. He seems so….. normal.” 🥅 #goaliemom #goaliekid #normalgoalie #hockeymom #goals #goaliegoals #netminder #tendie
