Members of the Cincinnati Cyclones have been out in the
community to meet fans and introduce kids to hockey. Dustin Sproat,
Jamie Coghlan and Jacob Dietrich recently taught some kids
fundamentals of the sport.
"A lot of the kids had been to a hockey game at some point, but
very few had ever played," Sproat said. "They all had a blast. We
talked with the kids for a little bit before handing out the
sticks, making sure they'd be careful with them, and we tried to
encourage them to pass to their teammates. With the younger group,
we tried to have everybody giving each other high-fives after the
good passes. I think they liked that."
But the players don't focus solely on hockey. Sproat, Barret
Ehgoetz, Mark Van Guilder, Mike Salekin and Loic Lacasse set up a
karaoke machine at the Ronald McDonald House, where they sang with
kids and parents and signed photos.
