But our favorite pregame meal answer came from Mary Forbort. "Whatever was on the menu was what they were eating," she said. Boss mom.
Tough Love Story: Brodzinski was once driving home from a game with his dad, and was persistently doing something his dad asked him not to, so his dad told him to get out of the car and walk home.
What Brodzinski's dad knew, but Jonny didn't, was that his grandparents were driving behind them and could give him a ride home. But a good scare never hurt anybody, right?
A similar situation happened with the Forborts. Derek is always the last one out of the locker room (by a while) so one day his dad said, "you better be out on time today since we're driving your two teammates home."
As you may have guessed, Derek wasn't out of the lockerroom on time, so his dad took his two teammates to the corner store to get treats before coming back to get Derek. TBD on whether or not he learned the lesson.
Best Hockey Memory: In youth hockey, Leipsic was doing group drills and was too advanced for his group, so he was moved up to a different group. Then, later in the day, he got moved once again to another more advanced group. At the end of the day when his mom asked how his time at the rink was, he replied "Mom, I got traded twice today!"
Best Reaction During Games: Goalie moms have a tough job... they have to see their sons face countless shots and they're always on the ice, which can be stressful.
But Jonathan Quick's mom Lisa goes one step further by making reactive kick saves when the puck goes near the Kings goal. PSA: do not sit near her!
