Before tossing an old table-top hockey game, I pulled off the figures.
Perfect for cake toppers!

That is the sweetest face – the first photo is beautiful and the look of surprise when he received his Stanley Cup photo is priceless!
We love hockey at our house too – but we've been Detroit Red Wing fans for years and years! Maybe Silas could cheer them on now that the Flyers are taking a little break!
Your family is one of the most beautiful families I've ever seen!!! Thanks for sharing them with us.
