playing competitive ice hockey. "It feels like being in a
miniature NHL game!"
There's an awesome opportunity for kids who have
never played ice hockey before, and it's called Learn to
Play -- with the Dallas Stars. For $85, you get 6 weeks
of hands-on learning from real pros and head-to-toe
hockey gear (including helmet, skates and a hockey
stick) that you get to keep!
