Yesterday Ariel's class had a special guest. Her name is Charline Labonte and she was the goalie on the Olympic Women's Hockey team which won the gold metal at the last winter Olympics. She is related to Ariel's teacher.
She came and showed the class her metal and played with them in gym. She was the goalie of course. Here is some of the action when the girls played:

Ariel was on Charline's team.
Here are the girls from Ariel's class (and the one boy who sneaked in the picture) with Charline.
Here is Ariel with Charline. I was lucky that the teacher allowed me to come and take pictures during the afternoon in gym. I didn't get to see the gold metal, but Ariel did and even touched it.
And here is Ariel back at home with her t-shirt and picture signed by Charline.
Charline is a really nice lady and was great with the kids. She was born in Greenfield Park. She told Ariel that she started off playing soccer too.
I am happy I had the chance to share part of the experiance with Ariel. I plan to make copies of the pictures for the teacher.
