Ames Elementary School!

Happy Tuesday Steel Fans! We hope that you are enjoying your week so far. It is rumored that we are suppose to get some snow/rain tonight so make sure you drive safely! 

This week Zach LaValle, Mason Bergh, John Schilling, John Ernsting, Liam McDermott, Connor Yau, Artem Artemov, Chris Nell, Alec Vanko, and Liam McGing went to Ames Elementary School to teach hockey to grades K-5. They taught the kids how to stick handle, pass, and shoot.



Before the boys started teaching, they took the time to introduce themselves. They told the kids, their name, number, age, position, where they are from, when they started playing hockey, and what they plan on doing after hockey. 



Following that it was time to learn how to control the puck and stick handle their between cones. 






To go along with the stick handling and controlling the puck, it was then time to learn how to pass the puck from one person to another.



What fun would it be to only stick handle and pass, if you aren't able to shoot the puck. The players were the goalies as the students started firing away pucks at them. 



After all the learning, it was time to have some fun. The classes were about to play either a game of hockey, or a game of red rover. Red rover wasn't the normal game that everyone knows. The kids had to run from one side to another without getting hit with a puck that was just being shot at them by players


 










Overall, I think that it is safe to say that all the boys enjoyed teaching hockey, and the students LOVED having them there!! 




There is still plenty of time to get the team out to your child's school. All you have to do is go online and fill out a simple form, or call 630-594-1159 to set it up! Don't let your child's and their friends miss out on this great opportunity, which is completely FREE!! 

Have a great day Steel Fans!!
