Hockey Practices 4, 5 & 6

Ronnie is doing very well in hockey! He can actually skate (kinda), and gets up pretty quickly on his own. The practices involve a lot of drills - and when he pays attention, he does a good job with them. Sometimes, he finds himself chasing after a stray puck, or watching the Mites play their game. He LOVES hockey though, and is very excited that they extended the "season" for 3 more practices. The last practice will be a game where an actual announcer will introduce the kids and call the game. We have a lot of practicing to do before then!

PRACTICE #4

One of the drills involves holding on to a cone and pushing it around the ice - this helps the kids get used to pushing off using their skates.

Ronnie is doing the drill correctly - look at him push off his skates!
