February hockey starts Thursday
We start our final calendar month of the outdoor hockey season this week (most likely). We’ve had some new skaters join us recently—Clay, Joanna, Sam, another Ben, and Santos. We’ve had some great skates, and the ice at North Dale lately has been perfect. Thanks to Tristan, Ben, Mekhi, and Isabel for fighting through snow to skate last night. Ben, Mekhi, and I got a good section of the rink shoveled and we had good game that my side lost.
This week we will skate Thursday night, but not Saturday morning. It is Johnson-Como Hockey Day at North Dale, so the rinks will be busy all day.
