For the first time since the pandemic, the Wild staff and players embarked on a dads trip. Four of those dads spent time with JoeSmithNHL, sharing their experiences in raising NHL players and reminiscing about their sons' youth adventures:
It’s just normal conversations. Not always about hockey. It’s nice when they do call sometimes and it has nothing to do with the game. Sometimes it’s “How do you cook steak?” Life stuff. “How do I register for that?” I’ll say, “Yeah, you’re paying taxes now.” It’s more life now than hockey.I never played . Any advice I ever gave Matt was how to be an athlete. He played baseball, lacrosse, golf growing up.
But again, it’s mostly lifestyle stuff. He called me one time when he got a flat tire. “I can’t change it, I tried to change it.” All of a sudden, I’m working, and I went down to show him how to do it. The second time he got a flat tire, he FaceTimed me and said, “I just want you to watch me do it. I’m going to do it.” And he did it. He passed! These are young kids and people don’t realize that.Just watching him achieve his dream. It doesn’t matter if it’s Matt or his brother or sister.
