Free Hockey Day at Northwoods Draws New Players

If winters aren't cold enough to freeze the local ponds and you've never had a chance to put on a pair of ice skates, how do you know if you like hockey?  That's the delema for many young Texans and the premise behind "Texas Hockey Day." 

Saturday, October 30th was Texas Hockey Day at the Northwoods Ice & Golf Center.  "Spearheaded by Texas Amateur Hockey Association, in partnership with OneGoal, USA Hockey, the Dallas Stars, Houston Aeros, and Allen Americans, Texas Hockey Day will see more than a dozen events spread throughout the state." says Backyard-Hockey.com.  Northwoods joins the effort by offering a free hour of hockey to those who would like to try this wonderful game.

Supported by the Jr. Rampage teams and coaches, Northwoods Hockey Director, Zac Desjardins, took the ice to help many young people try on the gear and knock a few biscuits into the net.

Thanks to photographer Jeff Kline for the wonderful photos of the event.
