Hockey Star

Recently, we have attended a couple of high school hockey games of one of the students in our youth ministry. Nolan has been very fun to watch at the games. He cheers Aaron on and keeps his eyes glued to the rink during the entire game.

Now that he has been bitten by the hockey bug, he constantly wants to play at home. He has created his own hockey rink in the living room. He pretends to be like Aaron and has played all day today. FYI: all you need for an indoor hockey rink is 2 laundry baskets, 1 football helmet, 1 nerf baseball bat, 1 pair of gloves, & a borrowed plastic ball from the ball popper. Oh, and a little imagination. Plus the spider man pajamas are good intimidation for your opponents. He also uses a backpack to pack up his equipment to greet his fans after the game.

Today I am thankful for Nolan and his vivid imagination. He continually amazes me with what he creates out of a few simple items. Hours of playtime and fun can come from a box, a piece of rope, and a couple of laundry baskets.
