Hutchinson Jamboree

Well, the regular hockey season is winding down which means Jamboree time! Here are some pictures of the first Jamboree of the year. The kids and parents really look forward to these events. The best part is that other hockey associations actually turn the heat on in their facilities so you can watch the game without stocking caps, boots, gloves and scarves. Actually, the best part is how excited the kids are to play. A Jamboree is an all day (or all weekend) event. This year Blake's team played a game at 10am and another at 5pm. There are a lot of rules about length of game (60 minutes), time between line changes (2 minutes), time between games, score-keeping (not allowed), etc. After both River Lakes East teams finished their morning games, we all headed to Pizza Hut for lunch. We occupied over half of the restaurant, thank goodness for buffets. After lunch, everyone slowly made their way back to the arena for an afternoon of hockey. Blake got to hang out with his teammates, and Paige got to hang out with her friends that she has gotten to know over the last two years. It was a very long but very fun day.
