Hockey was the name of the game last Friday at English Bluff Elementary.
The Tsawwassen school held Hockey Day at English Bluff with students getting the chance to play street hockey and sing the Hockey Song by Stompin' Tom Connors.
Teacher Toshi Carleton said the focus was on sportsmanship, camaraderie and keeping it fun. Her class also did some hockey trivia, watched a video on sledge hockey and had a math lesson using stats from hockey cards.
Street hockey is something for everyone, she added.
"It's really fun. Being able to do it with all the students in the school and just have a fun day," said Grade 6 student Halee Ethier.
Nate Rosser, who's also in Grade 6, echoed Ethier: "I think it's just really fun having the whole school playing the sport."
The Ladner Leisure Centre was the official West Coast location for Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada last Saturday,.
The nationally-televised broadcast was described as the biggest single-day event in the history of South Delta Minor Hockey.
