What an awesome way to kick off the season at our Juniors "Have a Go" Day last Saturday!
We were treated to magnificent weather and a fantastic turnout, with 60 people—some brand new to the game giving hockey a go with others getting stuck back in. It was fantastic to see so many young players getting out on the field, trying out new skills, and enjoying the mini games and activities.
WHA would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended and made it such a great event! This was just the first of a few Have a Go Days that we have planned for the year, and we can’t wait to welcome even more people to the sport.
