   @peterdeppisch I had a nephew who played minor hockey in the GTA. A grandfather, with whom he was close died during the minor hockey season. The coach forbid players missing any games for any reason, and that included family funerals. The coach had the players write his grandfather s name on their hockey sticks during the game as some token of honour So to stay on a minor hockey team my nephew missed the funeral of his grandfather for a minor hockey game. My nephew was 11 at the time.
