Power Play: Following the U.S. Women's Hockey Team gold medal victory, interest grows as girls try the sport in Wilkes-Barre

More than 60 girls ages 4 to 18 tried hockey this weekend. They learned to pass and shoot and handle hockey sticks alongside coaches and volunteers from the Wilkes-Barre Junior Pens.

The free event had an overwhelming but welcome amount of girls sign up.
