Puck drop – Andrew Pelkie of Fergus set up a face-off for his children, Nathan, 7, and Leah, 10, as they worked on hockey drills at the outdoor rink at the Elora Community Centre on Feb. 2. The Pelkie children, including older brother Cameron, 14, who had joined a game of shinny, are missing their Centre Wellington Minor Hockey Association season, but are happy to try out different rinks throughout the township to keep their skills sharp.
