Last year, Megan was on the AYHA 6U team, her first time on a hockey team. It was a learning curve for all of us and she got to play in some really fun places. Overall, it was a fun season and I think Megan really enjoyed being on a team.
Megan (pink stripe on helmet) and Grace (pink helmet) ready and waiting for camp to start.
Hockey season is fun but it is long, so after 6+ months of 6U hockey, the kids were ready to be done. By the time hockey camp got here, all of the kids were beyond ready to get on the ice again!
FYI: the girls are 4 months apart in age...Megan is at the bottom of the growth charts and Grace is at the top of the growth charts. They LOVE playing together and each girl has their own strengths, so they are really fun to watch.
Paying attention to the coach and waiting until it is their turn to do the next drill.
She is starting to get a little "aggression" is her. Well, Megan's version of aggression.
After the on-ice drills, the kids spent some time working of other drills outside.( Megan is wearing the white hat.)
Joey LOVES hockey, but during the week of camp, he couldn't decide what was better, watching hockey OR watching all of the construction equipment in the parking lot. Adrian College is expanding their fitness center, so Joey had fun watching the process.
Mark got to come watch Megan for a few hours one morning. Megan was happy he was there to watch.
One of the ways Joey stayed busy during the 3 hour a day camp (Megan is still only 6, I was not going to leave her there, just incase something happened.)
Keep the pucks away from the coaches...fun game!
I love this picture!
She scores!!! Slowly, Megan is growing more confident with what she can do.
Joey would live here if allowed.
Last day of camp...she was so ready to get on the ice!
The 3 girls of hockey camp :) Grace, Megan and Willow...all of them will be on the 8U team next year...it is going to be fun!
The younger brothers loved running ALL over the almost empty arena. Zeke is Grace's younger brother.
Slowly, gaining more confidence :)
How younger brothers AND a cousin entertain themselves during the skills competition :)
The end of hockey camp...great speech from their coach but also a sad goodbye...Stavros is leaving to take an assistance coaching job at Princeton (yeah, that Princeton) he will be missed. The kids were drawn to him and he had the patience to coach kids.
After a long week of camp...she needed a donut!
I have a ton of videos from her week at camp, but I only picked a few to post. Megan's skating is awesome and her stick handling is coming along. I cannot wait to see what this upcoming season will bring...is it October yet!?!
