My wife and I are attending an ugly Christmas sweater party tomorrow night organized by the same set of all the parents we "grew up with" together as our kids all played hockey from K-12. The bond is indeed very tight. We still hang out and our kids haven't played together in 8 or more years.

Small town? Otherwise, the kids who started in kindergarten would/should have little relationship to the kids who played on the varsity team. Maybe half at best would/could have made it that far. Or, it’s a small subset that made it the whole way you keep in touch with I suppose that could be.

I’m sure you are correct and he doesn’t know who he is hanging out with 😂

NBA and NHL live in reasonably good seats are both fantastic.

I'm biased because I played, but NHL is much more fun and exciting to watch. I think it is the one pro sport that retains most of the fun and excitement that you experience through all the levels below.

You are going to lose your mind when you hear about the whole state of Virginia (Over $3000 at JMU) https://cardinalnews.org/2025/12/18...thletics-than-any-other-school-in-the-nation/

That's starting to get to the point where you seriously reconsider your decision to enroll at JMU??

JMU is like a St Cloud State ... not saying they're exactly equivalent, I'm saying they're like a 3rd tier of public school in that state.

You're going to pay $3000 per year more money on top of normal school money, so athletes can get paid and drive nice cars around? Do they even give students free football tickets?

That's a joke. A few hundred in fees, I can see ... $3000 a year? F that. I'd put my foot down if I was a parent of a high schooler considering that school. Not happening

77% acceptance rate, seems to be extorting the kids not able to get into uva and vt

There are plenty of other 3rd tier public schools in that state, like VCU. Or in neighboring states. WV, NC St, UDel, etc.
