First hockey game

Zander played his first hockey game of the season on Sat. He was very excited about playing an actual game but I think as it got closer to game time he started to get a little nervous. He as only had six practices. The first practice he could stand up on his skates but could only shuffle his feet a little bit and if he fell down he could not get back up on his own. He can now skate from one end of the rink to the other, starting to turn a little better and can get up on his own.

He did great in his game. The game as two 30 min periods, and each set of kids were on the ice for 3 minutes at a time. The players got to rotate positions. Zander was happy that he got to be center for the first puck drop of the game. He also wanted to play in goal, and he got the chance for that too, and he was able to stop a puck. I think he let one in too but he stopped one and that made him happy.

They lost their first game but Zander had fun, and that is what matters. There next game is next Sat.
