Hockey Cards

I mentioned earlier that I was having trouble coming up with a hockey card design this year. (I make them every year for the kids hockey club...) Well, while looking through a photo editing gallery, I came across a picture that had been edited using the Zoom Blur Filter. I scraplifted the idea, added stars and names, and they're done!

You'll notice that our kids all have different jerseys on. Our hockey involvement consists of a group of friends renting ice, every other week; dads coaching; working with the kids for 1/2 hour of drills and then 1/2 hour of scrimmage after. We LOVE it! It's a great way to get some exposure to the game, without donating body limbs to the local organization.

Shannon asked if she could do ballet this year, but the time and money commitment was a little larger than we were willing to give, so she readily agreed to play hockey with the boys. She's done really well. Chatters and giggles the whole time she's on the ice. She's entertaining to watch.

Brent seems to be getting more involved in the game this year, a little more aggressive in terms of going for the puck, getting involved in the play; a little more intention to his stride.

Devin would live on ice if we let him. He's glad we have some older players this year to challenge him. His cousin Josh is one of the coaches, and he's always sure to tell me when he was able to "deek" Josh out, or steal the puck from him!
