Hockey: Rookies 2011-2012

Peyton just finished his second season of Hockey. He has made AMAZING progress this past year. When he started in November 2010, he cried the whole first practice. By the end of the season this year he was scoring goals and one of the best skaters out on the ice (well maybe in his mom's eyes).

He ended his season with the Hockey Jamboree on January 28th. The kids did a great job of showing all of their family and friends thier skills.

The game started out with the National Anthem and then an introduction of all of the players.

Then the games began. Peyton was fotunate to have 3 of his good friends on his team this season. He also had his dad as one of the coaches. The kids had a blast together at each practice.

We are fortune enough to have friends that live across the street that have kids that a dad that share the love of hockey. So, the guys in the neighborhood built a rink in their backyard. So skating been one of our favorie Sunday afternoon activies- well as long as the weather is not too warm.

I was VERY apprehensive to have Landon skate. I thought it was be very frustrating because he is still so little and has trouble on his feet at times let alone on skates. Well, we took a chance and got a helmet and some skates.

I think this picture does a great job of illistrating just how big his helmet is.

So we strapped on the skates and headed over.
First he started out holding my hands. Then he tried his hand at pushing the chair around.

Next thing you know he pushed the chair away and he was off.

He literally skated for over and hour. It was amazing and he loved every minute of it and has every weekend since.
