Week of giving
No games this week yet but a terrific time.  What started out as the usual holiday fun of secret Santa and gift giving between turned into something terrific and good for others.

After the plan of secret Santa was set, one player asked if we could give those toys instead to some local charities for those in need.  This terrific selfless idea from a 12 year old led to families donating lots of toys for the salvation army Toy Mountain and also food and monetary donations for the local food bank.  The JrAA team was welcoming to let us use their home game to add to the donations. The girls got to skate the flag before the game and the team watched the game as a group.  

An added bonus we were fortunate enough to join the London Knights this week.  Our team with one other Devilette squad was asked to help out with the Knight's annual teddy bear toss.  The girls picked up almost 7,000 teddy bears that fans tossed to ice after local boy Easton Cowan opened the scoring.  Amazing experience seeing the bears come down at ice level.  A few of the toys needed two players to skate them off given the size!

Games still to play this weekend, but this week was already an amazing week for the girls regardless of the on ice results this weekend.
