BRAMPTON SPECIAL NEEDS HOCKEY?…
THE BEST HOCKEY YOU’LL EVER SEE!!!
Fun, friends, laughter, excitement, wearing Brampton Battalion jerseys,
athletes with special needs, and oh yeah- HOCKEY. These are some of the
things that Brampton Specials Needs Hockey offers.
From it’s start three years ago, and initial people such as Rick Doornink (
Coach ) and Lori-Anne Berthiaume ( Manager ) and tremendous support from the
community, the program has blossomed from 11 to 25 players with more expected
next year.
The program offers
athletes with disabilities 5 and up, upon medical clearance, the chance to
learn the game of hockey. The season last from Sept-March, with an annual
tournament involving 20+ teams from three countries. Get this, next year the
tournament is in WASHINGTON, D.C.
In order to continue our success with Special Hockey International ( SHI )
Brampton’s team, we want your help. We want more players to grow the
team. We also need volunteers to be trained as trainers, coaches, managers
and promoters. For those who want to donate, all donations are
welcome.
If you or someone you know love hockey and great athletes, and are interested
in participating in any capacity, player or volunteer, please
contact Jason Cormier ( Coach ) at (416)917-6439.
