Team sports for children are known to be beneficial for all their life. The popularity of girls playing ice-hockey has grown considerably in the last ten years. Last Saturday we watched a game and admired the speed and courage the players presented. The ice rink is booked from morning to evening. Here the next team eagerly waits to play while the ice is getting cleaned.
On the other side the opposite team controls their impatience and is ready to jump on the ice to win the game. It is encouraging to see these preteen players working as a team and enjoying each other.
So many aspects of this sport (on the ice and in the locker room) are an excellent preparation for their future as equals to boys/men. We grandmothers understand it well and are pleased for them.
