Being so close to Ohio University had many pluses. We are fortunate enough that the University has a Hockey team and they offer learn to play hockey sessions. Last night we were able to attend a free session to see if we wanted to sign up for the next eight weeks. Dario wanted to try it out so we headed to Bird Arena. We were put on an assembly line and got fitted for all the gear, (shoulder pads, knee pads, elbow pads, shorts, socks, skates, helmet, stick, jersey, gloves,) and then a hockey player helped Dario get dressed in all his gear. He then headed out on the ice with the hockey player and had a blast. There was no expectations, just come off the ice when you are done. Dario stayed out for over an hour and had a blast! He enjoyed the hockey players humor, and energy. After trying it out I asked if he wanted to continue playing hockey and learning how to get better. His response was ,"Well of course! It was so fun. You know mom when you fall on the ice it does not hurt!" I was happy he was excited about hockey, and the best part they rent all the gear for free!
