Springfield Falcons offer hockey clinic

Hockey fans flocked to see their favorite Falcons.

The Springfield Falcons, along with the United Way and Tower Square, offered an interactive hockey cliniic.

Fans lined up for autographs and a chance to meet the players.

Then, they learned the finer points of stick handling, tending goal and passing the puck.

Young players say they're thrilled to meet their hockey heroes.

A special bonus for the kids was a free ticket to Saturday nights game.
