Draft Day Tomorrow!
Like last week, the highlight of Thursday will be "the draft". The instructors do such a great job getting the kids pumped up for Friday's Northern Edge Cup game. They take this game very seriously and will have their best game faces on when they arrive Friday morning. It's really fun to watch how the kids react when the draft is complete and the teams are set. It's nice to see the Canadian, American, and Belarusian kids working together to build their teams.
"Yunost Minsk" practice...
Todd's hard efforts and talent have been recognized by the local Yunost Minsk farm team. He has been asked to run their practice tomorrow. Tim Velemirovich will be skating out with the team.
Departure preplanning...
This week is going really well. The friendships that are being built will be lasting and the exchange in culture has had a phenomenal impact on the instructors, our boys, the belarusians kids, and the host families alike. Emotions are beginning to run high as we see the end in sight. Just this morning, Todd spoke with our boys about getting ready for our departure. The Belarusians have been generous and gracious hosts. Many thanks to them and the BIHF!

Press coverage continues this week! The President's game was Nationally televised LIVE! Curt Fraser continues to make front page newspaper coverage (should see the picture they used!), and the instructors and children continue to be featured for interviews for both print and TV. Everyone in town knows we are here!
New video clips are posted above!
A special "HELLO" goes out to Jesse and Casey's Grandparents in British Columbia!!
Tonight, our boys are either shopping, going to a BBQ, going to a birthday party, or simply chilling out.
Cheers!
