I don’t know what advice others would give, but I agree with Elizabeth. I was going to tell you, three and a half is VERY young and he won’t likely take anything away from this experience that will impact his potential future as a hockey player. Don’t make yourself crazy—one day you will look back and fondly remember the year YOU got to decide to call it quits. Because soon enough, you’ll be sitting on those sidelines and in those bleachers week after week, whether you want to or not.

As the mother of two boys (aged seven and ten), I say don’t sweat it. Three and a half is super young and even though I know nothing about sports and have two boys who are mad for them, they only became “mad” for them at about age five or six. I’d say enjoy NOT going to sporting events for as long as you can because before you know it it’s ALL you’ll ever do!
