Hockey 101

The boys got ice skates last year for Christmas...we have a pond in our neighborhood that a lot of people skate on during the winter so thought it would be fun for the kids.  That...along with a new found love for the Mighty Ducks, turned into Ben wanting to try playing hockey this time around.  A new experience for all of us...we had a crash course in hockey 101.   

These are some shots of practice one night.  He was on team yellow for regular season.  They play every Tues & Thurs nights, with games every other Thurs.  

Bundle up...I guess we better get used to this. 

For only 2nd time around on skates, he did pretty darn good.  Most of these kids have been play for a few years, but Ben got right in there.  As much as I missed watching him play basketball this fall, it was fun watching him learn something new!

I think he found a new game, new love.
