Roller Blades

Now that hockey is over and the ice is melted, we can do warm weather sports. I’m sad to see hockey go, but I also realize it’s good to have some balance in our lives and for the kids to pursue other interests. We don’t want them to burn out on any one thing. However, I also thought of a fun way to keep in touch with hockey would be to roller skate, or blade, as they say in the 21^st century. One thing I noticed during Spring Fling was that the best players out there were just amazing skaters. After talking to some of the hardcore parents (they’re usually dads), it was clear that developing and maintaining strong skating was the key.

With this in mind, we love to roller blade, so why not keep our legs in shape and maintain the feel of skating? Plus, our options are wide open because all we need is a big paved surface. Then again, that’s not that easy to find when you live in the country.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Kyle Gould for the pic.
