It is good to see people learning that those with disabilities can play hockey, regardless of the individual problem. There is also a team for those with developemental disabilities (down syndrome, autisim, etc)and these kids and adults learn the game quickly and play with the same intensity as those without a disability. The team is the Rocky Mtn. Renegades Special Needs team (rmrenegades.com).
Everyone who wants to play hockey now has the opportunity to do so.
