There were 47 players when Kids Christian first hit the ice in the mid-’90s. At its peak 10 to 15 years ago, the league had 350 players. There were about 175 players during the final year on the ice, 2019-2020. The league cancelled this past season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Retiring leaders Randy Hopkins and Paul Armstrong indicated in an interview earlier this month that, in addition to teaching skills, coaches and volunteers worked at making sure that the youngsters always left the ice wanting to return the following week. “Families really, really appreciated the kids coming home feeling good,” Hopkins said.
