Okay, we get it.
There’s nothing better than watching your child play hockey. I’ve been there.
But being part of that experience, and creating new, shared, experiences, is something truly unique.
Some of my most cherished memories are from traveling with my two daughters as they played hockey in Holland. Those moments I’ll hold onto forever. And they still talk about it fondly too.

Here are just a few of the shared experiences outside of hockey you’ll have that will make this trip extremely special for you, too:
- Visiting Working Windmills:
On our first day you’ll step into the heart of Dutch culture as you explore centuries-old windmills that are still in operation. You’ll see firsthand how these iconic structures have shaped the country’s history and watch traditional techniques in action.
- Discovering the Art of Wooden Shoe Making:
We’ll visit a local workshop where craftsmen keep the art of clog-making alive. It’s fascinating to see how a simple block of wood transforms into one of the Netherlands’ most recognizable symbols.
- Wandering through Amsterdam’s Parks:
On day one, we’ll take you on a leisurely stroll through the sprawling park that frames this vibrant city. Vondelpark is a favorite for Dutch singles, couples and families soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. Awesome people watching.
- Exploring Utrecht’s Historic Charm:
On our day of sightseeing we visit the city of Utrecht. Known for its medieval architecture and winding canals, Utrecht offers a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. Walk freely down its picturesque pedestrian streets, discovering hidden cafes and boutiques, or enjoy a meal in a canal-side restaurant.
- Experiencing the Lively Nightlife:
After a day of games and training, head out together for a memorable evening. Whether it’s a family dinner at a bustling restaurant, sampling local street food, or taking in the lively city energy, there’s something magical about Holland’s evening vibe.
- Seeing the Canals Come Alive at Night:
As the sun sets, the city transforms. The canals, illuminated by soft, glowing lights, create a dreamy backdrop for an evening boat ride or a leisurely walk along the water’s edge. This is when you should visit the city and take advantage of the late sunsets here in July.
- Indulging in Dutch Pancakes:
On day two, we’ll take you to a farmhouse that specializes in authentic Dutch pancakes. Thick, fluffy, and served with a variety of toppings—from sweet powdered sugar to savory bacon and cheese—Dutch pancakes are a must-try.
- Riding Bikes Together:
Join the locals in one of the Netherlands’ most beloved pastimes. Bike to grab a late-night snack of ice cream or crispy French fries, or simply pedal through town, taking in the sights and sounds. It’s a fun way to experience the city together, just like real Dutchies.
These shared experiences aren’t just about sightseeing—they’re about bonding, creating memories, and having those special moments together that will last long after the trip is over.
So yes, you’ll watch your daughter play, she’ll get better, make friends and network with our coaches.
But you’ll also share an adventure that’s as much yours as it is hers. You’ll call it “Ours”!
