Oil Kings Clinic!

Blake was lucky enough to spend some of Sunday afternoon at an Edmonton Oil Kings clinic at West Edmonton Mall!!!  He was extremely excited and really hoping he would get to meet his favorite Oil Kings player, who also happens to be named Blake AND is #4 AND plays defence ... what are the chances?!

We headed to the mall early, to make sure we could find parking and get to the rink on time!  Blake's session was from 2 to 2:50 pm and he had to check in 45 min early.

He had such a great time!  He was on the ice with another team mate and school friend and we ran in to a lot of people we know from our hockey community!!  Grandma D got to come and watch too!

They did various drills and played a scrimmage against three Oil Kings.  As they were getting off the ice, Blake Orbin was getting ready to go on the ice for the next ice session.  So luckily Blake got his autograph and a picture taken with him!  Blake Orbin also thought it was kind of cool that they were both Blake's, both #4 and both defensemen ;)

This was  a fabulous event, and I think Blake is pretty darn lucky that he has all these opportunities!!
