“It’s pretty remarkable. Their sense of the boards or how fast they’re going. And of other people in general. They love the game like I used to when I was a kid. They’re just like any other kid, really, when it comes to hockey.”
After volunteering at a skate and chatting with the mother of a visually impaired player, huskiemhky alumnus and usaskmed student Quinton Ong knew he wanted to do more.
From securing safe ice time, to volunteer coaching, mentorship and special events, Ong and huskiemhky have built a strong relationship with saskatoonblindhockey over the years, helping kids with visual impairments learn how to skate, play hockey and build confidence.
As the program continues to grow, saskatoonblindhockey hopes to recruit more players and get more kids with visual impairments on the ice 🏒🥅
This Monday Sept. 28th they’ll be hosting a Try Blind Hockey Event in partnership with huskiemhky at Merlis Belsher Place. For more information please reach out to blindhockeysaskatoon@...
