Your post comes as I prepare to move houses and (once gain) pack up all my
hockey memorabilia. I have enjoyed going over my stuff, and my mother's stuff
from when she was in her 20s, for myself and with my kids. I'm 49 and I think my
generation was raised with a healthy interest and respect for history. Being
Canadian, hockey history is a big part of that.

However, I fear that my kids' generation does not have much interest in history.
Their world is more focussed on the present and themselves. My kids are now both
teenagers and as we pack for our move, they are interested in personal memories
(like an autographed picture with favourite hockey player, or a particular
school project) but not much interested in general stuff like Esso Power Play
booklets and Senators programs and media guides from their early days of
watching hockey.

To those of you who have older kids or teach high school or college or hang out
at memorabilia shows... what is your take on it? Am I making a mistake by
selling off all my stuff on ebay or were the NHL superstars right when they did
this?
