PHOTOS: USA Hockey’s national Try Hockey For Free Day

 

Saturday marked USA Hockey’s national Try Hockey For Free Day, part of an eight-day Hockey Week Across America celebration of the sport we all love. Thanks to the efforts of countless volunteers, ice arenas and local associations, thousands of youngsters were welcomed onto the ice for the first time as hockey players in the annual ‘grow the game’ initiative. MiHockey stopped by three different ‘Try Hockey’ skates to capture images of both the new participants and the people who volunteered to help them experience the game.
