JFK

The juniors and open teams arrived in New York for training camp and as quickly as they arrived they departed for Israel.  The junior team spent several days in Long Branch practicing and bonding.  While the open team had a two days to prepare.  As the open team pulled up to the JFK to meet up with the juniors the Maccabi experience began.  A sea of athletes filled the El Al terminal.  But only one group had the pungent smell of freshly skated equipment in tow!  You can only image how this got us to the front of the line and our baggage on the belts quickly.

Now we had one issue through the first leg of security-but we think that athlete finally got her number after  being grilled for what seemed 30 minutes.  Oh, and when you travel its important to make sure you don't confuse your first and last names.
