Wheelchair hockey is the newest segment of the program. There were a total of 16 kids in the wheelchair hockey program. Another 30 took part in the basketball program. Ages ranged from 5 to 24. The kids love to play.
Hockey is played like the game normally is, with a scoreboard going and a clock running.
They re so aggressive and competitive. Headrick, who is also the parent of one of the participants, said all the parents are happy to see the children take part in the new sports programs. It s great going out there and seeing the smiles on their faces. That is what it s all about. She also thanked the teenagers who come out to the games every Friday night to help the kids play.
