8 Getting on the ice! I think there were about 15 kids and two coaches, plus some siblings and parents. Hap's dad, Frank, was on the ice as well.
9 Ben played with the big kids!
10 Look at him go :)
11 Getting a briefing from Coach Pike before the play starts.

13 It was like a great game of pond hockey - cross ice made it possible to get a lot of action in a small space.
14 It's really fun to watch the coaches mix up the play and skate around all those kids!

30 A few more videos of the action. It was really wonderful to see all the smiles! Everyone had such a great time!
31 It happened to be on a weekend where the kids had come close to winning two winnable games, but unfortunately ended up a point down. This fun on the ice reminded everyone what hockey is all about - the love of the game!

33 We had pizza for everyone and it got so nuts with the drink requests that I asked the girls at the counter to just keep track of what the kids ordered and I'd pay all at once - open bar!
34 $20 in slushies later!
35 On the way home! No devices, boys! Time to entertain your driver! :)
