A Typical Tuesday of hockey for Alex and Nic

A typical day of hockey practice for Alex and Nic and their teammates and coaches.

 Afternoon goalie practice right after school for all goalies in all age divisions of the Club.

Have a quick dinner, and return for team practice which begins with Conditioning and Strength training.

The boys go for a run through the local neighborhood after Conditioning and Strength training.  They grab reflective vests to wear on their run, as it is very dark by practice.

 

Finally, the ice time part of their hockey practice starts. It usually lasts 90 minutes. Alex is in the green practice jersey. When the coaches are speaking, all the players are paying attention and listening. 

 

 

The boys will remember the friendships and camaraderie with their teammates, and the confidence the coaches showed in them, including the ongoing opportunity to earn their share of playing time.  As parents, we are so appreciative of the knowledge and experience their coaches and teammates have graciously shared with them, and of the opportunity to watch these boys grow and mature while making the most of their time here.  I look forward to seeing them continue to work hard during the winter/spring hockey season in Finland.
