"Hockey, hockey and moooore, hockey!"

A good neighbour here called us up a couple Friday evenings ago asking if we wanted to put our kids on the Taber Christian Pond Hockey Team - his boys were too old for the younger team and they had equipment they were willing to give away. 
Andy and I thought about it over night and decided to give it a try, much to the kids extreme happiness.  Although we both do not want to be duffle bag totin' hockey parents, we were pleased with the description of this team, Christian, Parent run, non-competitive and no traveling (always the same arena).  And compared to the Coaldale kids team, which is early in the mornings on Thursdays, this was much better for us, 3:30 Saturday afternoons. 
I don't have real great pictures since Seth can't contain his excitement long enough for me to get a steady shot, and Tristan has to get on that ice.  It's way too adorable to watch, and to see them try so hard.  Seth gets right in there, skating madly after the puck, even managing to score on the first game! *Cheers!!!* Tristan is such a little squirt, and he's still learning how to skate but he is so intent on doing well that he manages to follow the puck around without falling. All the kids are between the ages of 5 - 9, some decent skaters and others laying on the ice not even bothering to get up.
These boys are so tired afterwards they can hardly hold up their heads in the big helmets, but are already saying they can't wait till next week.  
So far, so good:)
