Our youngest grand-child five-year old Evan recently decided he wanted to play hockey and so was signed up for skating lessons by our Daughter. Being retired, my Wife and I take him to his weekly lesson and I bring along a camera so his family can see his progress from week to week.
Last Friday at one point Evan and his instructor were standing along the boards on the other side of the rink engaged in conversation, and as I watched them through the viewfinder, the scene reminded me of a Norman Rockwell painting, and I grabbed this shot.

Thanks Nick.
Hockey is ingrained in our DNA, but unfortunately with the world being what it is, city kids don't spend their afternoons on the local pond honing their skills the way we did, so instead they go to the local rink for scheduled, supervised lessons.
Evan who is only five and had never skated before decided he wants to play hockey with his street and school buds, hence the skating lessons.
