If a picture is worth a thousand words, we would need a huge file of photos to really capture the heart moving moments, the generous giving, the fun skating, the unique late-night hockey experience and comraderie of this 24 hour event. First few shown here: the crowd that was here at 5 pm, on the deck / then the crowd here for the final lap and toast at 6 pm Saturday, raising our stick in celebration/ happy MCHL skaters after one of the many 3 0n 3 games skated Friday night/ Colleen & Ted with Cookes and Hancocks.
As I am still challenged by the technical issues and interface of computer files- one of my children will create a public photo album on Facebook and Snapfish, so you can scope out the panorama of fun.
