For many students, the program offered a fun and refreshing break from the classroom. "It’s nice to take a break from school to play hockey with my friends," shared Nolan, a Grade 6 student at St. Louis School. Owen, a Grade 5 student at École Ste-Marguerite Bourgeoys, agreed, saying he enjoyed the chance to play with his friends.
Some students found joy in refining their techniques and improving specific skills. "My favorite thing is getting more opportunities to shoot the puck and play hockey during school," said Max, a Grade 4 student at SMB. Timothy, a Grade 6 student at SMB, valued the social aspect of the program, explaining, "You get to bond and get to know other kids in different grades from the school." Meanwhile, Elizabeth, a Grade 4 student at SMB, was excited about her progress, saying, "I really love working on my skating skills."
