Mitchell Rauliuk loves hockey and so does the entire Rauliuk family. Mitchell volunteers a ton of time to help with the Dauphin Kings and he also does music at Rangers and Clippers games alongside Al Gaines.
Now although the young man from Dauphin is unable to do any of those things right now because of 'Code Red' restrictions, Mitchell is staying in the game. For the first time, the Rauliuk's have made a backyard rink.
It took a few days and Mitchell enjoyed being a part of the process.
"Especially watching the ice spread across when we flooded it," said Rauliuk. "We have a pretty uneven backyard so we didn't know if it was going to work out, but it ended up working so it's great."
Whenever the weather allows them to do so, Mitchell says he plans on spending a lot of time on the rink with his brother Jasper and the rest of the family.
"We're hoping to get out every day after school, that's the goal," ended Mitchell. "It's all about family time and I think we're all looking forward to it."
And to wrap up the evening, Mitchell says the family will sit by the firepit for some snacks and even more laughs.
Darnell Duff's journey around the Parkland continues on Friday with the Murray family.
