Ice Hockey and skating

This morning we were training skating skills and playing ice hockey with Jani Jormakka, who is a ice hockey coach. Warkis is a ice hockey team in Varkaus. Jani and his friend were in Kuvansi yesterday and today. Every class had a one lesson and  we skated this morning. The weather was cold but we had great fun.
