Saturday Hockey Morning in Stouffville

Do you know where your kids are at 7:00 on a Saturday morning?

Mine are at the rink, with dozens of other bright-eyed nine and ten year olds who constantly amaze us parents with their energy levels at that hour of the morning.  These boys and girls arrive at the rink ready to play.  It is wonderful to see such enthusiasm!

We are almost five games into our regular season, and what thrilling games they have been! 



I would like to send my sincerest thank you to all the head coaches, assistant coaches, trainers and volunteers who have worked so hard to make the start of this season such a success.

All of the Atom rookies deserve a special mention as, with the help of their coaches and teammates, they are making great strides in learning this fabulous game they are playing for the first time.  Way to go!!

And huge kudos goes to the goalies, both the rookies and our seasoned veterans, who continue to astonish us every week with their dazzling skill and focus.  Their sportsmanship has not gone unnoticed, as we have witnessed even within the first games, giving each other a high five or a catcher-to-blocker tap of fellowship as they pass each other when changing ends between periods.  It is so rewarding to see this kind of respect in players at this level.

For the past few years I’ve been saying the best hockey I see is on Saturday mornings, and this season is no exception. 

Friendship, sportsmanship and the love of the game:  this is what Saturday mornings is all about.

See you at the rink!
