May 8th (Mother's Day!) was the beginning of the third
session of Learn
To Play Hockey this year. Today's class was extra long, as apparently nobody
bothered to tell any of the coaches that the lessons had begun already. After a
30 minute "lesson" from one of the player's mom, a coach finally arrived and put
them through their paces. After several skating drills, the class played a game
at center ice. Drew scored another goal today, and has vastly improved his
skating (not falling on purpose at all, and his accidental falls have also been
greatly reduced!) and puck-handling skills since the beginning of the year.
We'll see how this goes, but it may be getting time to move up to the next level
soon!
