Go Canada Go!

We were very excited that Tara Chisholm was able to speak to our students about sledge hockey today. On Friday, Tara will be heading to the Paralympics in Sochi, Russia to cheer on Canada's Sledge Hockey Team.



Here are 5 things Deneille learned during the presentation:

1) Each player has two sticks.

2) It is really hard to shoot the puck.

3) The sled has two blades, but as the players get better they use one blade.

4) Sledge hockey is a very aggressive sport.

5) Team Canada will be playing in Sochi, Russia.


The students got a chance to sit in the sled and try to shoot on the net.
