Which Came 1st?

Which came 1st?  The "Tobogganeer" family or the real family?  A client's family in Ontario decided to re-create a commissioned piece received by the mom for Christmas this year.  What a great idea!  Brilliant!

Another Side to Hockey

From the patience and gentle encouragement of #2 and the persistence of #1 and the biggest dive a goalie has ever taken, this will make your heart melt.  

In the eyes of #1 that goal is about 50 gazillion miles away. Not even worth trying for really.  

But between the unbelievable acts of such a young #2 and an older and bigger goalie, step by step, inch by inch . . . it's fist pumping time!
