Take a Shot at Hockey   Sun. Oct. 12 and Sun. Oct. 26

FREE!!     The RINK, 1767 E. Shore Drive

Boys and girls (ages 4-10) are invited to try on hockey equipment and take the ice with IYHA and TGHA coaches to experience the ‘coolest game in town’.  Arrive at 8:30 a.m. for the 9:00 a.m. ice time.  Parents will need to sign in and should stay in the rink lobby during this fun introduction that will end at 10:00 a.m.  It’s not necessary to know how to skate, and it’s OK to attend just one session, or both!  Questions:  Brian Crane  bc69@cornell.edu   Tom O’Neil  277-4600

 

Try Girls Hockey  Mon. Oct. 20

Open House Mon. Oct. 27

NPR Clip on Hockey Moms
 
Even though this mom of a hockey playing daughter was inspired to communicate her feelings about being a hockey parent due to the national presidential campaign, her reflection is well articulated and you might even find moving!
