Then there are some students who have never done it before, such as Chris Newman, a graduating senior. I'd like to try it. First off, for students who are not interested in leaving EMU's campus, there is always Big Bob's Lake House in University Park. Free skating is offered on the lake house pond. Ice skating is open during regular park hours, but may not be open in times of warm weather.
Sessions are available in basic skills, figures, freestyle and ice dancing.
Anyone interested in getting hockey experience should check out Never Ever Spring Hockey. It's a fun, recreational hockey for adult players who have not previously played in organized leagues. There will be activities such as broom ball, and an ice cream eating contest followed by an open skate and face painting. Ice skating with friends or even as a date could make for an interesting day or evening, said Erin Gross, a Buhr Park attendant. It's pretty simple to learn.
