Today marked the first weekend of Holy Name Learn to Skate, the same program Tyler participated in last year. Anxious to get out on the ice, Tyler was quick to get dressed for class this weekend. Of course, it also helped that for his birthday he got hockey pants, stick, socks, and a garter belt! We've got a real player on our hands! (note the game face in the picture below)
Tyler started this year in the intermediate group-- no walkers in sight! He got right out on the ice and skated around in circles! I guess skating is like riding a bike-- you never forget how to skate!
One of Tyler's most favorite activities at the end of the class is to play "Catch Coach Steve". He gets right into it and skated his little heart out to reach out and grab the coach, even for a split second! The kids always end up tackling him in the end and bringing him down to the ice. Something you must know about Coach Steve? He wears shorts week in and week out on the ice. I can only imagine what it must be like on the ice in your bare skin! 
A short video of Tyler's self imposed warm up! We can hardly wait to see what this season will bring!
