I got to watch Emmy at hockey school for the first time today!

She kneels on one knee because that’s what the coaching assistants do.

Emmy has hockey school every Monday evening in August. So far she seems to be enjoying it. I got to watch for the first time today and it sure was a lot of fun! There aren’t too many things cuter than watching a bunch of little kids wobble, hobble, and sprawl across the ice.

Emmy sprinting down the rink like a pro.

I don’t know whether she’ll stay interested in hockey for a week, a month, or a decade, but I’m here for it regardless. I expect Caelynn and/or Kinsley will follow in her shoes if she keeps them on long enough. We shall see what the weeks, months and years bring.

I’ve re-taped my grips pink in honor of Emmy’s experiment in hockey playership. They will remain pink for as long as I have at least one niece in the sport.

Looks nice, doesn’t it?

I am super proud of Emmy. She worked so hard! Whether the things she wants in the long term include being a hockey player or not, she will always succeed if she works as hard as she did today.

She looked cool, too.
