CREATIVE PROMPT

When kids think about hockey, they think about one thing. Scoring goals, crunching their opponents, and that math homework they skipped. At the Slip McScruff Hockey School for Kids Who Don't Hockey So Well, SMSHSfKWDHSW for short, we've got three main programming blocks that we shuffle kids through. They start at one station and rotate every 50 minutes until they have done all three.

The first block is scoring goals. We just let the kids loose with YouTube up on the big screen showing dope goals and then we teach them how to do it. We have two professional unpaid TikTok interns who film the kids and post to our feed with whatever caption is "giving" at the moment. If they think they will become internet famous, they will work their butts off to get somewhat coordinated on the ice.

The second block is crunching their opponents. We load the kids up with padding and have them slam into each other. It's important to teach kids how to safely take a hit and protect their body. So I am personally out there laying them out on their butts with my years of checking experience. In one segment, there is also a "hot potato" where you can only hit the kid with the puck, which I guess is a rule in the game of hockey.

The third block is that math homework they skipped. We have tutors on site to help them with their homework! For some reason, we find that kids who have checking lessons right before homework block perform poorly on their assignments. We are still looking into this phenomenon.
