Sled hockey, an adaptive form of ice hockey, allows individuals with physical disabilities to believe in their ability to play competitive sports. Whether born with a disability, injured in service to our country, or injured in an accident, sled hockey provides the opportunity for individuals with disabilities to put their disability on ice and really ‘get in the game.’ The Pittsburgh Mighty Penguins Sled Hockey organization invites all veterans with disabilities to join our team. Our focus is to develop the skills of each player to reach his/her potential. Sled hockey is used throughout the country in our returning veterans’ rehabilitation. Check us out by visiting a practice at Bladerunners Ice Complex (66 Alpha Drive West, Pittsburgh PA 15238). Our practice schedule is available at www.penguinssledhockey.org. Or, contact us at info@penguinssledhockey.org for more information. |

PITTSBURGH MIGHTY PENGUINS Sled hockey is a fast-growing, internationally recognized sport and a key event in the Paralympic games. It provides a means for physically challenged individuals to play competitive ice hockey. Getting a good workout, building self-esteem and being part of a team are just a few of the benefits of sled hockey. Players take to the ice on sleds fitted with skates. They use shortened hockey sticks with picks on the end to move along the ice and control the puck. The Mighty Penguins were formed by volunteers from Shriners Hospital in Erie in May of 1998. Initially, the goal was to provide children and young adults with physical disabilities the opportunity to participate in a competitive sport. The parents and guardians of these players have seen firsthand the physical and emotional benefits of the program. Many local organizations have helped our program by donating ice time, equipment, customized hockey gear and insurance. Individuals throughout the area volunteer their time and talents to educate and assist the players. The Mighty Penguins continue to build on this existing foundation of support by increasing player involvement and expanding the number of teams competing locally. This year alone, the Mighty Penguins registered on its roster three teams that included youth, junior and adult players. These teams competed in tournaments throughout Canada and the United States. Players on the team are achieving tremendous success and recognition nationally and internationally. Josh Wirt is a 2002 Paralympic Gold Medalist. In addition to playing with the Mighty Penguins, Daniel McCoy was selected to be on the 2010 USA National Men's Team. Daniel Hefley and Nevin Gray were selected for the 2010 USA Junior National Team. www.penguinssledhockey.org

STEEL CITY ICEBERGS Pittsburgh Special Hockey is an adaptive ice hockey program for both children and adults with developmental disabilities such as autism, Down syndrome and traumatic brain injury. The program teaches children and adults to play ice hockey in an environment adapted to each participant's ability. In a controlled setting, this unique program combines sensory input, coordination, social interaction, self-reliance, concentration and willingness to adapt to new experiences with a sense of accomplishment and pride. Steel City Icebergs is run by dedicated volunteers. The coaching staff includes several USA Hockey adult coaches, referees and training professionals who have numerous years of experience. The junior staff includes dozens of collegiate and youth ice hockey players who assist the coaching staff on-ice, enabling a low player-to-coach ratio and providing an environment for peer interaction to help the kids learn and form meaningful relationships. www.pittsburghspecialhockey.org |

PITTSBURGH I.C.E. Pittsburgh I.C.E. (Inclusion Creates Equality) has touched the lives of many boys and girls in the Pittsburgh area. Each hockey season, the opportunity to play ice hockey is provided to children who might never have the opportunity to play or experience such a great game. The program was established in October 2000 with the support of the Pittsburgh Penguins and its Alumni Association. As part of the National Hockey League’s “Hockey is for Everyone” initiative, Pittsburgh I.C.E. provides boys and girls in the Pittsburgh area the opportunity to learn to skate and play ice hockey at no cost. For the past eleven seasons, participants in Pittsburgh ICE have had the opportunity to experience the great game of ice hockey, as well as learn important life skills, teamwork and sportsmanship. Pittsburgh I.C.E. has traveled to such places as Detroit, Michigan for the annual Hockey is for Everyone Showcase and to State College for the Commonwealth Classic games. They have competed against other diversity programs from Washington, D.C., New York City, Columbus, Detroit, Philadelphia and Boston. www.pittsburghice.pointstreaksites.com |
