Bring your friend to the rink day was a huge success. All the kids brought their friends , sometimes 2 or 3. Most of the kids they brought had never experienced hockey. They loved it . New hockey fans for sure , possibly new hockey players. I heard a lot of kids telling their parents they wanted to play . The best part is our local rinks have a program called "Kids First" . It lets a kid try hockey , via practices and camps, for 60 days for free. They give them all the gear for free as well. If the kid likes it and wants to stick with it after 60 days his parents have to pay 200 bucks for all the gear and they are put on a team. Its awesome to see hockey growing in Oklahoma!
