Today's hockey game

Emma had her third game of the season today and did good! She even had puck contact a couple times! She is pretty funny out there but doing so well. One of the parents came up last night (picture night) and commented how much better she is skating in just a couple weeks. She is starting to feel more comfortable out there and putting a lot more energy into it.

She is not afraid to follow the action and get in the middle of it! I think she is doing much better as an offensive player than defensive because of this! The coach had to keep calling her back when she was in a defensive position and then changed her to offensive and left her there!

Speaking of the coaches, gotta love them. They do so well with all the players. They had her in the face-off position against one of the best players out of this bunch and I saw the coach "hold" the other kid back for a second to give Emma a chance to get in the action.

Pictures from today: (She is green jersey #5)

Emma and her "best friend" on the team (as Emma told me today) This is one of the other two girls with Emma in the Mites division (5-8 year olds). She has been playing for a couple years and she and Emma have hit it off!



Emma trying to get in the action!



The little guy on the ice is about 13 days older than Emma. He played last year. Emma skated by him and paused and gave him this look like "Are you going to get up?!"
