First Lady Michelle Obama hosted a street hockey clinic on the South Lawn of the White House today following an earlier ceremony with President Obama celebrating the Chicago Blackhawks' Stanley Cup win last season. She gave remarks about her Let's Move! initiative with the Blackhawks players in the background.
