Hello hockey coaches,

I wanted to share a sports fiction story called Was It Worth It. It follows the journey of a young hockey player, from the minor ranks all the way up to the point where he has the chance to get drafted. Along the way, it outlines the key milestones and levels that shape an elite hockey player, from winter season hockey to spring AAA, from getting bumped up a level to moving away and living with a billet family. 

The story dives deep into the highs and lows of the sport, the sacrifices families make, the pressure that comes with being a top player, and the challenges that arise when a hockey parent takes things too far. It sheds light on the emotional side of the game that often goes unseen, showing how ambition and love for the sport can sometimes blur into obsession. 

More than just a story about hockey, it’s a reminder that the journey to playing pro sports, whatever the sport, should be a fun and memorable experience for both the players and their families. It puts a lot of things into perspective about ambition, passion, and the importance of enjoying the ride.
