Skating With The Best

About 60 children from the Chicago Housing Authority got the chance to skate with the best on Thursday!  

Thanks to a non-profit organization called 1World Sports, they got to meet (and skate with!) Duncan Keith of the Blackhawks.  For many, it was their first time ever being on the ice.  

1World Sports is a wonderful organization that uses sports to help teach and motivate at risk children.  The non-profit collected donations and used hockey gear to give the kids this awesome experience. 

Lots of people in the Chicago area stepped up and donated!  Check out this 1World Sports video showing all the gear people brought in for the kids:
