Tilt your head slightly to the left and enjoy looking at the backyard rink of Flyers Pee Wee players Josh and Ari Daniels. It looks like they skated hard for a while and its time to bring out the shovel and the hose for a flood.
Two year old Cole Everson takes what he learns from our Future Flyers program on to his fine looking backyard rink, made by his dad Eric, to practice his skills and have a lot of backyard skating fun!
Future Flyers player Benjamin "Soupy" Karenas and his dad Ray have their 30' x 20' backyard rink as their first step out their back door. Ray, with assistance from Benjamin, freehanded the Blackhawks logo with spray paint!
