  • Hockey Hooky!!
    HOCKEY HOOKY!! February 25, 2020 What is “Hockey Hooky”? Hockey Hooky is an annual event hosted by the Edmonton Oil Kings at Rogers Place. Schools from across “Oil Country” in Northern Alberta join us for an afternoon of hockey, education, and fun. The Oil Kings host a WHL hockey game, which offers an opportunity for students to combine the excitement of an Oil Kings hockey game that also offers a unique educational experience. The workbook issued at the door keeps students engaged as questions will be posted on the video scoreboard during each break in play. What is the plan? The plan is to leave the school no later than 9:00 am, on Tuesday, February 25, and travel by bus to Rogers Place to watch the Edmonton Oil KIngs play at 11:00 am. After the game, we will board the buses and travel home to arrive back at Parkdale before the end of the day. Please remember that Alberta weather and roads do not always cooperate, and if we arrive late your student will need to be picked up. Although this is an amazing opportunity to attend a game at Rogers Place, there is still an element of school. Students will have an assignment booklet that will need to be completed and handed in by March 03, 2020. Goals 1. HAVE FUN:​ For some it might be their first Oil Kings game, others it might be their first time at Rogers Place, others will be the fact that they are not sitting in a classroom. 2. Get a chance to learn in a very different way:​ Everyone knows that we are a combination of auditory, visual and tactile learners.
