With the NHL hockey season back in full swing, the excitement of Canada’s game has carried over to us here at Sr. Out-of-School Care. Multiple activities have begun for the kids to enjoy, each of which challenge and excite in different ways.

A fantasy hockey league has started, with seven kids and two leaders going through the process of picking their favorite NHL hockey players. Each week, the kids kept track of their team of compiled NHL players, calculating different categories of statistics and matching up head to head against another kid or leader. Based on their performance, the kids saw where they ranked on our leaderboard each week. This activity provided the kids the opportunity to strategize when picking their players, utilize and apply technology in order to organize statistics, as well as putting them head to head in friendly, but fun, competition.

In addition to the fantasy hockey league, the kids have been bringing in their own miniature hockey sticks and have been playing self-regulated games of mini hockey. This has worked out great as they have been organizing their own tournaments and having a blast!

To top it all off, Adam has started up Sr. OSC’s annual floor hockey league, “OSCHL.” As usual the kids are spending their time honing their skills and feeling the rush of playing hockey together on a team. OSCHL games are taking place weekly on Wednesday, with opportunities for a tournament to place in the coming months.

Stay tuned for more,
