Today is...
USA Hockey's
National Try Hockey for Free Day
...and our figure skating girl, Maura, wanted to give it a try.
Or, more accurately...
her daddy really, REALLY wanted her to give it a try!
The ice rink where she and Aidan have been taking lessons/playing hockey for the last 4 years participated in the event today. They had a great program put together for the kids. Each child got a USA Hockey jersey, over an hour of instructional time on the ice, and a fun bag of treats (certificate, stickers, hockey puck, public skating pass and more)...all for FREE!
In the locker room getting dressed:
She was able to wear all of Aidan's equipment,
the same equipment he has been wearing since he started playing hockey...
3 years ago!!!
Which inspired daddy to take Aidan out this afternoon to get some much needed new equipment
(in hopes that Maura will soon need his old equipment!)
Dressed and ready to play:
Excited but a little nervous too...
Relaxed and enjoying herself,
and realizing she really likes this hockey thing...
Love the little mini net:
I'm not sure if she'll continue on the figure skating path or switch over to hockey.
But she'll be fabulous at whatever she chooses.
