Hockey Weekend Across America – Best Day of the Year
Scott Pantall | January 31, 2010
Yesterday morning we took our daughter, Ashlynn, to the Edge Ice Arena for a free, girls-only hockey clinic. She got to put on all the pads and skate around with one of the Colorado Select Girls Hockey Association players. We got to meet Natalie Darwitz and Jinelle Zaugg of the 2010 USA Olympic Women’s team. And she came away with 2 autographed posters, a jersey, two free tickets to the Avalanche game on Tuesday and one helluva fun time. I’d like to think I’m pretty good with words, but I am having a really hard time finding the words to describe just how great this event was for us. I just really want to thank everyone who was involved in putting this together. I’ll show my thanks the best way a blogger knows how, by providing praise and links to their sites.
- Thanks to the Edge Ice Arena for providing ice-time for this girls-only event. We go there all the time for skating class and just for fun and we’re always treated well there.
- A SUPER HUGE BIG thank you to the Colorado Select Girls Hockey Association!! If you are in any way associated with the girls who play for the CSGHA, you should be VERY proud of these girls. Without their enthusiasm and great attitude, this event wouldn’t have been the monumental success it was. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! A special thank you to Taylor, who plays for the 14AAA team, for spending the whole time on the ice with Ashlynn. Click here to donate to the CSGHA.
- Thanks to Ken Klee and the Colorado Avalanche for the free ticket vouchers and a big thanks to USA Hockey and Natalie Darwitz and Jinelle Zaugg of the 2010 USA Olympic Women’s team. It was great to be able to meet them and get pictures with them. Their presence made the event even more special for us all. Thank you! GO USA in Vancouver!!
