We had our first practice and it was a huge success. 🦁🥅🏒
Lots of smiles and high-fives as old friends got to see each other on the ice again. But we were so busy adjusting equipment and giving hugs to new skaters that we only got one picture. Have you ever seen a skate explode before??? Rhett was working so hard on the ice his toe box literally exploded. ⛸️🙄😬 We have some hard working athletes on our team -- no doubt!!

Our team is growing....literally.....we had our first equipment fitting yesterday and some of our athletes have grown several inches taller and they have grown out of their youth sized gear.
A HUGE THANK YOU to for donating these sticks to our players. We cannot wait for the season to begin. We will share some cool on ice photos of these guys using the gear when our season begins!!!! 💛💙🦁🥅🏒💛💙
Thank you Patrick and Hockey Gear for All Foundation for helping to get our athletes all the gear they need. 😍😍 We are so thankful to have such a generous community.

Courage Families. WGLT is conducting a poll about what to do with the Eastland Mall. There are two people -- Deb P and Julie C-- that have suggested converting this space to a community for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live and thrive. Consider voting yes for these ideas so we could see what this would like like in our backyard.

Time to vote for your favorite idea for redeveloping the Eastland Mall property. Help us narrow these 20 great ideas down to our 5 finalists, which will be featured in a WGLT story this fall: WGLT.org/Mall
