Para Ice Hockey Development Camp
|
|
|
This past month we hosted our March Para Hockey Camp!
Over the weekend, 24 athletes participated in on-ice skill sessions and full-ice games. For 11 of the athletes, this was the first time they had participated in a Para Ice Hockey Camp!
Special thanks to the athletes, volunteers, and coaches who all helped make this event possible. It takes a community, and we are lucky to have such great people involved in para hockey here in our Province.
Check out watermarked photos from the camp, courtesy of David Stevens. Visit his website for more info on how to purchase and download!
