One young diehard Edmonton Oilers fan in Thompson, Man., seems to have found a convincing way to get his parents to let him stay up to watch the playoff games.
As a nine-year-old kid, there’s nothing worse than having to go to bed instead of staying up late to watch your favourite hockey team in theThat was until he combined forces with his fellow Oilers-loving school principal who helped him convince his parents to let him stay up to watch the entire game this week.“Last Friday, I was on recess duty and Levi happened to be on a play structure,” said Todd Harwood, principal at Deerwood School in the northern Manitoba city.
“I’m like, ‘Do you think we should send a letter to your parents so you can stay up to watch the end of the games?” and ‘Yeah!’” During a conversation with Levi, he informed me he was not permitted to stay up to watch the end of the Edmonton Oilers game last night. I am writing you to let you know that not permitting Levi to watch Oilers game until their conclusion could be detrimental to his development.I am concerned that Levi will miss out on Zack Hyman’s crafty moves in front of the opponent’s net and Leon Draisaitl’s lightning quick snap shot from his off-wing.
But while the letter might have started as a prank on Levi’s parents, it turns out their practical joke just might have paid off.
