Robert Trowbridge knew he’d made the right call as he watched his son, Oscar, 6, skating around happily with Kraken mascot Buoy and a bunch of other first-grade classmates.
Trowbridge, two months back, volunteered as an on-ice parent chaperone for students from Olympic View Elementary as they embarked on an eight-week Learn To Skate program courtesy of the One Roof Foundation (ORF). The 50 participating students, ranging from first to fifth grades, were transported once a week for eight weeks to the Kraken Community Iceplex for on-ice instruction from team employees and additional free time to hone their new skating abilities.
