July Update: The Spirit That Makes Ice Hockey Special.
July Update: The Spirit That Makes Ice Hockey Special.
July has given us a chance to do something we don't often get during the season... take a breath.
With our pilot programme now complete, it's been nice to pause, reflect on everything we've achieved and enjoy being part of the wider ice hockey family.
This month we were delighted to attend the Chelmsford Chargers & Kids Inspire Family Fun Day. What a fantastic event! The 3v3 games were brilliant to watch, but what really stayed with us was the atmosphere. Hearing little children shouting "Go Daddy, go!" from the stands was genuinely heartwarming.
That is what ice hockey is all about.
It's more than a sport. It's community. It's belonging. It's families supporting one another, friendships being built, and memories being made both on and off the ice.
That feeling is something we've always admired about the hockey community, and it's exactly what we hope our school pilots can introduce to children who may never have stepped inside an ice rink before. We don't just want young people to discover a new sport – we want them to discover a place where they feel welcome, valued and part of something bigger.
As we enjoy a little downtime over the summer, we're already looking ahead with excitement to our next pilot and the opportunities still to come.
Have a fantastic summer everyone, and we'll see you back at the rink soon!
