Union Visits Local Classroom
On January 26, members of the Union College Women's Ice
Hockey team went and visited the Central Park International Magnet
School. The members of the team talked with and answered
questions in the kindergarten classrooms about hockey and
Canada. The kindergartners had just finished their unit on
Canada so they had many questions for the Canadian players that
attended. After the team talked they took time to sign
autographs and teach the kids how to play hockey.
"I really enjoyed being with the kids. I was amazed at how
much energy they had and how receptive they were to us. Hopefully
we inspired some of them to start playing hockey" said
junior Kelly Alyea.
“It was awesome to see kids be so excited to learn about
hockey and Canada. Being able to share and teach these kids the
game of hockey and Canada was a great experience, a ton of fun, and
we had a lot of good laughs” said freshmen Stefanie
Thomson
