It's a Great Day...

It's a great day for Hockey!

I was not a hockey person until I met Mark (my late husband).

He was born in upstate New York where they are born with skates on...

I soon learned to  love the sport and Andy and Tony didn't know any other way.

We were determined to give them the opportunity to learn to play.  

Dek Hockey and then roller hockey  seemed to be the best way.  

They each started Dek Hockey when they were four.  Guess who is four now?

You got that right, it's Locklan.  

This summer he attended a learn-to-play session at the Y.

Monday was his first realistic game...

Of course, we all went to cheer him on!

First they got a refresher and reviewed their equipment...

Then they did drills...

Locklan is in the orange shorts...

And then...

The scrimmage!

What a hoot!

When your legs are that short and the rink that big...

Someone tired out!

Brought back memories, for sure!

Oh...and it was a tie game!

Memories...like this one?
