Czech Hockey Camp Winter 2015-16

                     


This year I got to go...sortof. I'll explain later. This year Andrew was making his 2nd appearance at the Czech International Hockey Camp in Nymburk. We started off our wonderful vacation by spending nearly a week prior to camp in beautiful Prague. During that stay Andrew got to skate on an outdoor rink where even I joined him on the last day. This was Andrew's first experience skating outdoors. He got to experience the way I used to skate as a kid. He had a blast...and frankly, so did I.

Once we arrived, Andrew felt right at home when he rejoined 3 of his other buddies. Gustav, Lorenzo and Henry. They all decided to wear the same jerseys and clicked on the ice, as well. As camp was in its heyday, I got the call to come back to Jakarta. So, I missed everything from the 30th onward. However, I did get to see the Benicky System Skatemill. Holy Enchilada!!! It was amazing how well this skatemill worked. The way it was able to point out the errors in his skating, it improved him almost immediately. (We have wonderful videos of the Benicky Sysstem I will surely upload). Andrew is progressing nicely in 2 years and 3 months of skating. If I can get him involved in this system more...then I am certain he will jump another level or two).
So proud of the little man. He did really well.
