President Obama welcomed the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks to the White House for a game of street hockey, with Washington Capitals' Mike Green and Chicago Blackhawks' Patrick Sharp dropping the first ball. However, Michelle's famous husband did not participate in the game. CBS Sports' Clark Kellogg had a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the event. President Obama also acknowledged his lack of ability to play hockey in a speech he gave to a crowd in St. Paul. The event was part of Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" program, which aims to promote physical activity among children. First Lady Michelle Obama greeted children before the game and later led a street hockey workout and clinic with pro hockey commissioner Gary Bettman. The White House has been utilizing the space to host programs that teach kids how to skate and play hockey. President Obama's influence on the sport has been significant, as evidenced by the fact that the Lady Byng Trophy, awarded annually to the "coolest" hockey player, is named after him.
