how you know your son is tuff
My 7 yr old son was playing laser tag with his hockey team Saturday when he fell and smashed his index finger . Not a big deal he was more worried about the laser gun . fast foreward to sunday the boy has a hockey game his finger is swollen up. So he tapes it up with masking tape just like the nhl players he says . plays the game well sunday night my wife looks at and takes him to urgent care. double compound fracture .
its all splint up now . he is worried that he will miss his hockey tournament this weekend in sylvan lake.
As Don Cherry would say A good Canadian boy

Yep - fingers are not a huge deal. He has nine more.
I've made it through calving seasons with busted carpals. No big deal. I don't walk on my hands. Just make sure he doesn't go all tough-guy on an injury that happens to anything weight-bearing. They have a way of coming back to haunt you later on...

Tough kid. One Tourney will not be a huge thing.
September is one day closer.
I hope the little guy had a great year.
We are done.

Tough boy!!! Just make sure he takes care of it, as simple as it seems. I smashed two fingers playing ball and let them swell up with out going to the doc for a week or two. When your a kid things heal fast and they had to rebreak to fix and that was not pleasant. Plus some infection set in. To this day those fingers get so cold and shoot it shoots pain right down into the palm of my hand. Gets to be a real pain when working in the cold and the older I get the worse it is getting.

That is a tough Canadian boy! You can tell him about the player in Quebec that hat a portion of his pinkie finger shot off when blocking a shot. Stitched up and kept playing.

Tough kids
kids are amazing, hope your boy heals up quick.
My daughter plays basketball, in grade 9 she showed up for high school try-outs with a broken wrist in a cast. Between playing through her injury and being almost 6 feet tall the coaches kept her on the team. She played hard all year to improve and ended getting more and more floor time as the year went on. She broke a finger with 2 weeks left to go in the season, her coach, her mom and I all asked her what she was going to do. She looked at us like we were crazy and for the rest of the games that year she took off her splint and taped it up. Her finger is still crooked.
That coach still talks about that even though its 3 years later!
