The event took place January 22nd
at GM Place. They divided all the kids into 2 groups. Each group goes
on the ice at GM Place and does a number of different skills and drills
with BC hockey coaches, as well as Fin (the mascot).
Vancouver Canuck players such as
Kyle Wellwood and Tanner Glass joined them and worked with all the
kids. They were on the ice for about 1.5 hours.
Later they all got signatures from
the players. Then the kids went with the instructors to have a
seminar to teach them off ice stuff and respect for other teammates,
coaches, referees and parents. As the kids were doing this, a lady in
charge of the safety courses in all of BC did a seminar for just the
parents.
