Amidst a long season, with playoffs and provincials around the corner, the Strathmore U16A Ice gave up one of their practice times to celebrate a younger team in the organization.
The Ice hosted the All Star Celebration for the Active Start and the U10 ringette teams Feb. 21 at the Strathmore Family Centre.
It was a fun evening for players to bond over mini games of ringette and other fun activities on the ice.
“We put together six fun stations (on the ice) to work on skills and we taught the kids a great new cheer. Our team ended the celebration with a mini dance party and then we sent everyone home with a goodie bag,” said Ice alternate captain Aubrie Hunter. Hunter also acts as a junior coach in the U10 league.
There was a game of soccer on the ice, relay races and balloon games as players from the each team interacted with one another.
“My favourite station was the balloon popping relay, it was really fun,” said Kennedy Jensen of the U10 Ice Pirates.
The Ice are back to preparing for their provincials, which begin March 3 in Medicine Hat.
