After the Red Riot Challenge, The Middle School Skills Challenge took to the ice. This event has middle school hockey players participate in a variety of skill stations. As an added bonus, a few members of the Former Pro Showdown joined them! The young hockey players did great but the two goalies stole the show in the breakaway event by stopping nearly every breakaway!
