Learning to Love Hockey in Haiti

December 3, 2015 Posted by Keith Wight 2 Comments

The boys and girls at HATS love their hockey. Not as much as soccer but they enjoy the new game.

Oh that looks like hooking to me Keith

 

Markensen’s rookie card

Faceoffs are like a re-boot. Calms everyone down and starts the game again from scratch.

 

Josie got a breakaway but will Markensen catch her. Where’s his stick

 

Nice back hand shot Dieunel

 

Score 5-5. One more each and we’ll be tied. First team to 10 wins.

    Bet there aren't many kids playing hockey in Haiti, just the ones you brought equipment and the love of the game to, thank you! It is good to be able to play something besides soccer!
