Hockey Stars!

So, I think I've written before that the kids are doing a little hockey playing these days. It's through a rec center league and a lot of fun. They have mostly been working on skating and puck handling. Last night, however, they were invited to play in Nationwide Arena during intermission at the Columbus Blue Jackets game (our NHL team).

It was GREAT! Zoey was the goalie (her favorite position, I think because she loves the equipment). She took it so seriously. Let me tell you, she was awesome (and I'm just a little biased). One of the kids on the other team had a breakaway and came down the ice full guns toward Zoey. She made an awesome stop and the crowd went wild! Micah played defense, which meant his role in the game was a bit more low-profile. Nonetheless, he was quite a scrapper.


After the game (which lasted about 5 minutes), they selected Zoey for an interview with the game announcer - the interview is shown on the Jumbo-tron screen in the center of the ice.

The whole thing was just hilarious!


Zoey is floating on air - I don't know what she's going to do since she's only six and her lifetime dream has already been fulfilled. Hopefully she doesn't fall into some state of despair! And Micah is dealing very well with his sister's new found fame.
