JJ has travel team tryouts this weekend in Decatur AL and a hockey clinic during the week in Huntsville AL (both ice hockey). Then, he'll travel to Jackson, TN for a roller hockey tournament. I know he'll do great in all of them! We're proud of you, JJ! You're still a hockey star!

...Update: The tournament was cancelled due to not enough players available, but JJ had a good week. Not only did he do well in the tryouts and clinic, but they were able to fit in a visit to a water park. Fun, fun, fun!
