I take my son to a lot of our local Jr B team's home games and a highlight for all the kids is lining the walkway between the dressing room and the ice to fist pump the players as they go to and from the ice.
All the players engage with the kids on the way to the ice, after a blowout loss though, some understandably just walk by looking for a place to hide.
When CoHo's daddy got into the picture and I looked up his background, real estate, junior mining company promoter, politician, my thoughts were oh no, not one of those kids.
The "I want it my way" silver spoon act with a calm oh too slick public facade stood out front and centre.
The tip off at the WJr's was that he was never engaged with his team mates. While everyone else were excited 18 year old kids on the biggest stage of their lives, CoHo stood out as a stone and not in the Toewes kinda way.
