Thursday 23rd March 2017 – Dundee Stars Visit

Go Dundee Stars!

 

P7 were visited by Vinnie and Cale, of Dundee Stars Ice Hockey team today and Elliot and Mike who also work for Dundee Stars.

Vinnie from the USA and Cale from Canada spoke to the class about the importance of eating healthily, their training schedules, their positions in the team (both left-wingers), opponents, upcoming games etc.  P7 passed around various equipment that the players wear on the rink and many were surprised to feel how heavy the puck is!

Vinnie and Cale held a session in the gym hall and demonstrated how to flick the wrist when striking the puck with the ice hockey stick.  John, Aiden, Mollie, Charlie and Lewis C had a chance in the goal.

P7 were delighted to receive free passes for the Dundee Stars game against Fife Flyers at Dundee Ice Arena this Sunday. Good luck Dundee Stars!

    1. Hello John, I am very happy to hear that you had lots of fun with Vinnie and Cale from the Dundee Stars Ice Hockey team.. We were very lucky to welcome these two experienced ice hockey players into our school and to receive a coaching session from them. I hope that you will support and follow Dundee Stars progress in the future.

    1. Hello Tiegan, I am very happy to hear that you had lots of fun when Vinnie and Cale from the Dundee Stars Ice Hockey team visited our class. I could see that you were listening well when they were showing you how to hit the puck with the hockey stick. I hope that you will continue to support Dundee Stars in the future.
