Since the boy is back into regular hockey games now, we’ll be practicing (or rather, Jim will be practicing) with him at home. How can we practice at home for ice hockey? Easy - a pair of rollerblades, his stick, and a tennis ball! Jim doesn’t have inline skates, so he keeps up on foot. Matthew actually just outgrew his rollerblades that we gave him for Christmas 2 years ago, so it’s time for a new pair. I don’t have a clue what to look for as far as features and such, but this site, 123skate.com is huge online for buying rollerblades and heelys. And, they’re right down in Miami. Local boys! Mmm….local surfer boys, even better!
