First Hockey Game

Owen started playing hockey this year. As an 8-year-old rookie, he's had to work hard to improve his skating with the goal of catching up to the other kids.

Saturday was a big day for us at the A2 Ice3. We were there at the uber early hour of 7:30 to get dressed, and they handed out jerseys! Our little Blackhawk got his first number choice - 30, like his favorite goalie, Tim Thomas.

They played three games "Jamboree" style - each kid played a two minute rotation and then they switched. Owen LOVED IT. and over the course of the three games, our little hockey player scored FOUR goals!!!

He said multiple times that it was the best day ever. I got one goal on video and a zillion photos. We're so proud that he's working so hard at learning to skate and play!
