sailor723, awesome photos and glad your daughter had a great experience!
My kids are really taking to hockey, they ask every morning if there's any ice time on the schedule that day. My 7 yo son has two weekend practices, then they play 4 weekend tournaments throughout the year, all local. Plus the occasional short-notice exhibition game. My 11 yo daughter has a more intensive schedule....2 practices plus 1-2 games a week, plus one "hockey academy" session outside of her team commitments. Anyway, given it's their first time playing, the day-to-day improvement they are making is remarkable, and really boosting their confidence. It's a little intense on my schedule, but as long as they are loving it, I will keep prioritizing it...
