Coach Krystal with little J

I LIKE scooting across the ice... it's slippery!

Everyone should take a shot at ice skating. It is the coolest thing you can do on a hot day. And it’s fun.

Those of you that are regular readers know that my older son (in the black helmet in the pic) plays ice hockey. Well, my younger son has been all about learning to skate like Big Brother… so, he’s there in the white helmet. We have to give him some props, he isn’t even 3 years old, yet.

Coach Krystal volunteered to help get him started. She has coached Garrett since he was 4 years old. She has even coached him at hockey camp.

She got him out there, and he has been talking about how much he liked skating… just like his big brother. Mostly what he wanted to do was scoot across the ice.

Krystal gave us some pointers on how to get Jackson to be more confident in his skates, and so he gets to walk around the house sometimes in ice skates (with blade guards on). It helps him with his balance. The best part is that Coach Krystal really likes working with the kids. Mine both love her, and look forward to skating with her. At the same time, she can push them to try a little harder.

We’ll let the little one practice at home for a while before we put him back out on the ice.

C’mon… you don’t want to be out-skated by a three year old, do you? Call Krystal for some lessons and get out there. She coaches at the Duluth Ice Forum. It’s really cool.
