REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, CANADA — Two months ago, most of the children in the program try hockey never tried rollerblading. Now they are hockey players.
Twenty boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 10 spent the 10-week program learning everything from stickhandling to practicing skating. Many of them liked it so much that they said they would sign up for a little hockey program in the fall.
Some of the children were newcomers and others grew up in the community. Dana Eldlk is one of the players.
Before tying her skates for the first time, she did gymnastics. But he says hockey is now his favorite sport after completing the program.
“I think hockey is really unique because I really like it and it’s better than anything else. My parents said they were very proud of me,” Eldlk said. cbc.ca.
The program is organized by the Mosque of the Ummah Mosque in Halifax, Canada, in partnership with the Halifax Hawks Minor Hockey Association.
This program aims to remove barriers that may prevent some children from having the chance to play.
“Most people, when playing hockey, rely on their fathers and grandfathers,” said Ahmad Husein, chairman of the board of the Ummah Mosque.
