Special Hockey
About Special Hockey
Special Hockey creates opportunities for athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities to experience hockey in a supportive, welcoming, and fun environment. Programming focuses on skill development, teamwork, confidence, and a love for the game while meeting athletes where they are in their development. Through accessible ball and ice hockey opportunities, Lightning Special Hockey strives to give athletes the chance to learn the game, build friendships, stay active, and feel connected to the Lightning hockey community.
