SUCCESSFUL SPORTS TEAM
REFER TO ITSELF AS A FAMILY.
IF THAT'S A MEASURE OF GOOD
CHEMISTRY, THE
SCARBOROUGH HIGH BOYS AND
GIRLS HOCKEY TEAMS MUST
HAVE A GOOD VIBE, THANKS TO
THEIR SIBLING
CONNECTIONS.
 
 
 
 
NINE SETS OF SIBLINGS
BOYS AND GIRLS HOCKEY TEAMS
HOCKEY IS A WAY OF LIFE FOR
NINE SETS OF SIBLINGS FROM
SCARBOROUGH, WHO PLAY ON
THE SCARBOROUGH BOYS AND
GIRLS TEAMS.
'IT'S A BIG THING, WE'VE
BEEN PLAYING IT SO LONG,
IT'S JUST KIND OF GROWN INTO
OUR FAMILY.'
IN THESE HOCKEY- CENTRIC
FAMILIES, THE GAME IS OFTEN
THE TOPIC OF CONVERSATION
AT THE DINNER TABLE
'IT'S PRETTY BIG I MEAN LIKE
LAST NIGHT WHEN WE HAD THE
DOUBLE- HEADER AGAINST
LEWISTON, THEY PLAYED
RIGHT BEFORE US, I MEAN,
EVEN THOUGH I GOT HOME AT 12,
WE WERE STILL TALKING ABOUT
IT, '
AS WITH MOST SIBLINGS,
COMPETITION CAN CARRY OVER
TO THE ICE.
'WE ALWAYS COMPETE AGAINST
EACH OTHER, ONE OF US ALWAYS
HAS TO BE THE BETTER ONE, SO
THERE'S ALWAYS A LOT OF
COMPETITION.
AS COULD BE EXPECTED WITH
COMPETETIVE SIBLINGS,
THEY HAVE THEIR SHARE OF
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.
'BOTH PRETTY BRUTAL WITH
EACH OTHER,, SOMETIMES I
SAY SOEMTHIGN TO HIM, HE'LL
GET ALL DEFENSIVE AND VICE

'SHE EVER TRY TO COACH YOU
EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE OLDER?
NO. I COACH HER, SHE DOES NOT
COACH ME.'
SHARING EQUIPMENT GROWING
UP IS
PART OF THE SIBLING HOCKEY
EXPERIENCE...BUT NOW THAT
THEY ARE OLDER, THERE'S NOT
AS MUCH SHARING.
'IT'S USUALLY IT'S HIM THAT
GETS THE STICK FIRST,
THAT'S A NICE SICK,  THEN I
USUALLY STEAL IT FROM HIM,
HE GETS LIKE THAT, THAT WAS
MY STICK'...
FOR THESE 18 SETS OF
BROTHERS AND
SISTERS...THEY ARE OUT TO
COMPETE FOR THEIR SCHOOL,
THEIR COMMUNITY AND AT
TIMES THEIR PARENTS.
'WHO'S YOUR PARENTS
FAVORITE HOCKEY PLAYER? OF
THE KIDS.'
'OH, OH, THEY CAN'T SAY
THAT, BUT, OF COURSE I
