HEY HIT THE ICE like little bundles of unbridled excite-
ment and boundless energy. Decked out from head to
toe in protective gear, with skate blades chopping at the
ice and tiny sticks swinging through the frosty air, these
pint-sized hockey players can't curb their enthusiasm.
After a few trips around the ice at the Schwan's Super
Rink, what appears to be a typical hockey practice is
ready to start. A blue plastic bin makes its way onto the
ice and out pops a smorgasbord of hula hoops, pool noodles, tennis balls
and other implements of fun. Before long, these happy little hockey
players are skating over, around and through them. Little do they know
they're practicing vital hockey skills like balance, agility and edge work.
They're too busy having fun.
