What an exciting day! From our first hockey game, to Santa on the ice, to fire alarms and fire trucks!
Both the grade 2/3s and 4/5s had their first hockey game of the season. The groups were split into two and played with festive music playing in the background. Some students even got to suit up as goalie!
Near the end the game, Santa made an appearance. Boy is he ever a good skater! Who knew?
While we were all getting changed at the end of ice time, we were all surprised when the fire alarm went off. I have never seen the grade 2/3 boys get changed so quickly! The building was quickly surveyed and, luckily, we didn't have to exit the building. However the fire department still came and some of the fire fighters even held the door open for some of our hockey players as we loaded up the buses. It was all very exciting!
Please remember that this was the last practice before winter break. We resume January 12th.

Week 6
This week our hockey players worked hard on their skills!
The grade 2/3s worked on their balance and agility on their skates by stepping over hockey sticks and sliding underneath. I witnessed some pretty impressive skating today! Check out our Instagram photos!
The grade 4/5s practiced passing, skating backwards and shooting on net. I am so proud of all of our hockey players!

What Happens in a Blizzard?
Wow, what a crazy day of weather in Winnipeg! Mother Nature sure was sending us a message today!
Since the weather was so bad today, buses were cancelled. In that case WJHA was cancelled for the day. I will send out a "Remind" if I know if hockey will be cancelled for us. If this happens, your child will need to bring a lunch to school.

Weeks 4 and 5
If you happened to be able to come to the first skate of the season, you will be amazed at the improvements in all the hockey players!
It was endearing to see the new grade 2/3 hockey players playing follow the leader behind their coach like baby ducks and playing "red light green light" (and during "red light" they flop down onto the ice!)
The grade 4/5 hockey players are getting faster and faster and faster!
Many of our hockey players were complaining of headaches at the last practice. A headache can be caused my many factors. To make sure you child is ready and well for practice, make sure they are drinking plenty of water. It is recommended that children aged 4 - 8 years old drink 5 cups of water each day, and children aged 9 - 13 drink 7 or 8 cups of water each day. If they are active (like playing hockey), they should drink even more.
Some signs of dehydration include:
