Hello again friends! I’m so excited to tell you about my weekend with Jackie and Taylor from Mr. Salsich’s class. I spent Friday and Saturday with Jackie and had lots of fun getting to know her and her family.
Then on Sunday Jackie and I rode scooters down the street to her friend Taylor’s house.

Taylor and her family took me to see an ice hockey game in Rhode Island! The teams were the Providence Bruins against the Albany Devils (Hey, that’s a cool name!)

Ice hockey is an interesting sport where two teams skate on an ice rink and pass a small “puck” back and forth with their sticks and try to shoot it in the other teams goal. Here is a animated image to show the rink and the positions (but each team also has a goalie):
It was cool how the players could skate backwards and pass the puck without looking!

And here is another animated image to show a “two on one” scoring play:
Hockey is a very exciting game because it is so fast – kind of like me!

After the game and the exciting weekend I was pretty tired-out and ready for some sleep.
Thanks Taylor and Jackie for a great weekend!

Have you ever been to a hockey game?
Have you played hockey, or gone ice-skating?
