There was a time when Buted Tsenguun could not have imagined any of her children playing hockey in front of hundreds of spectators.
But Tsenguun, wearing traditional Deel clothing from her native Mongolia, was at the Kraken Community Iceplex last weekend watching her son, Duursakh, 4, partake in a hockey and skating demonstration. It was part of an End of Year Celebration for 80 preschoolers who’d undergone a 32-week Learn To Skate program courtesy of a partnership between the Refugee Women’s Alliance (ReWA) and the Kraken’s One Roof Foundation (ORF) non-profit arm.
