Harrison has completed 3 sessions of ice skating lessons and one session of cross-ice. In cross-ice, he learned how to skate with full hockey equipment on, and carrying a hockey stick. Then they learned how to skate with a puck too. He loves it and is looking forward to one more cross-ice session, beginning mid-January. Then it's on to a real team!
He was able to skate on the NHL ice at Philips Arena back on Dec. 22! It was put on by the Thrashers, but the players weren't there:-( Anyway, he spent one hour taking lessons from Darren Elliot and Jeff Odgers(ex-Thrashers that now do commentary for games) He loved it and we enjoyed watching him too. We stayed for the game afterwards for an extra treat!
