With their first practice on November 14, 2010, Mercer Special Hockey had 13 Players, 7 Coaches and 4 Junior Coaches. Since that first season, the program has grown to over 40 Players, 10 Coaches and more than 30 Junior Coaches. Founded by a group of parents and volunteers, the Mercer Special Hockey program works to provide opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities to participate in the sport of ice hockey in a specially-adapted learning environment. Mercer Special Hockey is comprised of over 40 developmentally disabled players (ages 5 and up) across a wide range of abilities, from advanced to learn-to-skate, who participate in a brand of the sport known as "Special Hockey."
The Mercer Bulldogs Special Hockey Program is a great way to meet new friends and have fun on the ice! The team consists of both boys and girls with a common goal to play hockey. Special needs children of all ability levels are welcome to participate. During each week’s practice, the rink is divided into three areas to accommodate for beginner, intermediate and advanced skill levels. All registered players can participate in weekly practices, home and away games as well as several special events throughout the season.
This is such a great cause! Please consider attending their upcoming Fundraiser/Skate-A-Thon. Click here for more information.
