I grew up at the hockey rink and always enjoyed going. Granted my home rink had two sheets of ice and lots of things to keep myself busy in comparison to the Northfield rink, which has one sheet and not much to do besides watch the players.
Sam's friend JoHanna plays all the time and Sam would go with to watch. She loaded up on extra equipment that they had around. Big cost savings there. Since hockey associations are always trying to recruit more players, they practically gave it away free to us. Can't beat that.
She practices most Saturday and Sundays. Mondays are 3 on 3 plays to put to use the skills they learn, Tuesdays are dry-land nights where they practice off the ice and Wednesdays are on & off practices too. Hockey is a big commitment but if this is what she wants to try, I'm not going to stand in her way. She even opted to sacrifice some overnights with her dad to play. I'm hoping she likes it better than soccer, which she didn't seem to enjoy.
She did FaceTime with her Grandma & Grandpa Loken right before she hit the ice and they were so thrilled.
