Hockey for Kids in Langley
A group of more than 30 kids headed from Langley to Vancouver on Friday, en route to a meeting with their Hockey Heroes on the Vancouver Canucks.Young Langley children and teenagers who skate with help from the Hockey PuCKS program got a chance to take a trip to Rogers Arena.
The kids were bursting with excitement as they prepared to set off Friday morning.
"Every time they play, I watch," said Sherlawla, a Langley Secondary student about to board the bus.
The students only found out earlier in the week that they would have the chance to take the trip and meet the team.
"It's going to be awesome," said Hteeluepaw, another student getting ready for the trip.
She and her friends said their favourite Canucks were Daniel Sedin and Roberto Luongo, and they were hoping to get a glimpse of them both.
The trip was made possible by Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman. He recently bought a team visit at an auction, and donated the trip to the Hockey PuCKS students.
Hockey PuCKS is a Langley-based charity that helps kids play hockey. The organization helps them purchase equipment or pay for registration costs.
