Merry Christmas From Our Kids Play Hockey!

As the festive lights twinkle and the ice glistens Lee, Christie, and Mike are wrapping up the year with a heartfelt thank you to our hockey family. We're toasting to the incredible milestones we've reached together. In this special holiday episode, we're sharing our gratitude and reflecting on the connections made, the stories shared, and the shared passion for the puck that bonds us all. From emails to in-person chats, your engagement has been the driving force behind our exciting journey, and we're humbled to be the voice resonating in your headphones.

Take a moment with us to embrace the holiday spirit and unwind from the excitement of the rink. Mike advocates for the importance of recharging, and even gives the okay to trade a practice session for some festive fun. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our whole team!!

Hello hockey friends and family from all around the world, From our Kids Play Hockey.

00:00:13.422 --> 00:00:18.632
We are wishing you a very hockey holiday with Lee and Mike.

00:00:19.312 --> 00:00:20.094
I love it, kristi.

00:00:20.094 --> 00:00:26.306
Now, yeah, we wanted to come on here and wish everybody listening really a wonderful holiday season here as we head into 2024.

00:00:26.306 --> 00:00:29.086
And, just above all, thank you again.

00:00:29.086 --> 00:00:47.865
This year has seen some amazing things for us, from being a top 10 show to be listened to literally around the world, and then the amount of feedback we get back via email, on social media, but also in person, of people coming up to us and saying, hey, I saw this show or I listened to this show, and I have a question about that.

00:00:47.865 --> 00:00:53.572
It's why we created the show so many years ago was to kind of create that community.

00:00:53.572 --> 00:01:07.584
The fact that we get to serve as maybe a liaison for the voices for you out there means a lot to us, especially Mike Bonnelli, who I know gets to hear this every week that I heard you on the podcast.

00:01:07.765 --> 00:01:28.090
I heard you on the podcast, yeah now take this time to regroup and refresh and coaches, players, parents hit in the new year, you know, with guns blazing and hopefully get through the second half, I guess, of the season and enjoy because it's been great, so really really great community that we're involved in here.

00:01:28.441 --> 00:01:30.227
Right, mike, it's okay for you to take off that one practice.

00:01:30.227 --> 00:01:32.935
Right, it's okay for you to take off one practice this time of year, it's okay.

00:01:33.881 --> 00:01:36.947
Get your work done in the morning, Make sure you do some shooting before you open the presents.

00:01:36.947 --> 00:01:40.468
But yes, after that you're free to relax.

00:01:40.968 --> 00:01:41.691
Take a break.
