Last Class = Graduation

So last night was my last class of my Hockey 1-2 skating classes.

12 weeks ago, I could skate forward relatively well, and sort of snowplow stop with just my right foot. Thats about it.

Now, I'm just more comfortable and confident on skates. I can cross over both left and right sides, I can hockey stop really well with my right foot, and getting better with my left. I can transition from forward to backwards to forward in both directions. Backwards C-cuts pretty well, just starting to get crossovers backwards.

So at the end of practice, the instructor kind of told everyone where they go for the next class. Half the class got put into the same class again. The other half, myself included got to go ahead to Hockey 3-4.

Hockey 3-4 is a full hour, full ice instead of 45 mins on 1/4 of the ice. Full gear, pucks, sticks, helmets. Like a hour long stick time with instruction. So it should be cool. Starts next Sunday. I'm really excited.
