                                                It was the seventh year I received my
                                                daughter’s blessing to be her coach (I ask
                                                before every season).
                                                  This year’s team, U20 Blue, was made
                                                up of an assortment of personalities unlike
                                                any I’ve ever had the honour of coaching.
                                                The team was made up of a 19-year-old
                                                finishing a long and successful run with

                                                16-year-olds, and three girls born in 2006.
