Mini Mites First Practice

Today was J.T.'s first practice as a Mini Mite and I don't know who was more excited, J.T. or daddy?!?!?!  There were about 40 kids there, so the ice was full, but he did well.  J.T. is a on Team Monkey, but today they practiced as a group. 

John said from the minute he got off the ice through the whole time getting him out of his gear, he was talking about how much fun he had.  I hope he keeps enjoying it as much as he did today.

Playing Sharks and Minnows.  You had to try and skate to the other end of the ice without being touched.  If someone touched you, then you became a shark and had to go to the middle circle.  J.T. didn't quite get the concept.

Here you had to try to get to the other side of the ice without getting hit in the skate by a puck.  J.T. said that this was one of his most favorite things he did in practice today.

Footwork Drills (skating around the sticks and stepping over the sticks).  They also had to jump over them, but no video of this.

This is what 40+ kids skating in a circle looks like!!!!
