Ella absolutely LOVES hockey this year. We were not even going to let her play, but some of the other mom's talked me into it. She asks almost every day "how many more days until hockey?" And if there is a time that we are not going to be able to go she literally cries about it. If you ask her what her favorite sport is...gymnastics, dance, soccer, hockey - she will for sure say hockey. She is doing great. From the first day she was able to get up - and down :) really fast. She never gets frustrated and she is so determined to go fast. The first few weeks she couldn't really glide and just more walked on the ice, but I will tell you after the first week it was more like running on the ice - she was just so determined to go fast. She could go faster than I would have thought possible doing this. At the end of one of her practices they played a round of "sharks and minnows". She put it in high gear to get across the ice to win the game. When she got off the ice, she said to me with a huge grin on her face, "so that's how fast I can go!" It is really fun to watch her determination and enthusiasm.
Collin wanted to have #9 again this year. When it came time for the clinic kids to get their jerseys, by total random chance, Ella was given #9. You can imagine how pumped she was about that!
