Thank you to @HockeyAlberta and @HockeyABFdn for their support through the Every Kid Every Community grant for making this possible. #EveryKidEveryCommunity<\/p>\n<p>This program is aimed at developing skating skills and learning some hockey drills. Join our program for some fun on the ice! One half of the ice will be devoted to learning how to skate and the other half will be devoted to learning blind hockey skills and drills.<\/p>\n<p>Participants are free to bring their full hockey gear if they normally play hockey. For those that are just learning to skate and play hockey, participants will need: hockey helmet, skates, a stick, and normal warm-weather clothing including gloves, as the rink is cool. Elbow pads and knee pads are recommended. If you need to rent gear, you may do so on your own behalf (or contact us for options). Also, please come 15 minutes early to allow time to lace up!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Sat. February 26 at 3:00 p.m. &#8211; 4:00 p.m.<br \/>\nSat.
