We’ve Got Spirit!
“We’ve got spirit, yes, we do! We’ve got spirit, how ‘bout you?” Watching hockey in our house used to be quite the event! We’d wear our jerseys for every game! For a while, we thought it was good luck. Given the Islanders terrible season, maybe we need to resurrect this superstition and try the jerseys again…it really couldn’t hurt.
One time, I went to pick up Will from a playdate forgetting I was in my hockey jersey. The other family was pretty amused, but I couldn’t stay and chat long…it was between periods.
This photo is one of my favorites! They’re just so into it!
