I never understood how hockey players could be so routine/ sequence particular about gear and pregame and then go out and play a game that many times devolves into organized chaos. After 14 years of observing it I guess it just comes down to how they are wired. As for dealing with the final push our S20 is breaking it down into smaller pieces - 8 weeks of summer job plus hockey plus SAT prep will keep him busy until Sept 1 but then focus on apps in the Fall. Thankfully the job winds down and no Fall sport to worry about.
