Girl Ice Hockey Goalie Doing the Cha-Cha Slide
Posted by: | CommentsMy son plays ice hockey and it has been fun this season seeing more girls playing in the rink’s house league. The girls are very proud of all their hard work and they show their style with hot pink laces in their skates and powder pink gloves.
I found a fun video of a girl ice hockey goalie having fun with the crowd between periods by dancing along to the Cha-Cha Slide.
This is what sports is all about – having fun, staying fit, and playing hard!
