Welcome to Grandravine Special Hockey!
OUR MISSION
Grandravine Special Hockey is a community-based hockey program for the developmentally challenged started in 1980 by Pat Flick. It was the very first program of its kind that made it possible for those with developmental disabilities to participate in the sport of hockey. For over forty years players of all ages, both male and female, have learned new skills, learned teamwork and developed confidence while staying physically fit. A community where friendships are made.
Volunteer Coaches Needed
Would you like to be part of a rewarding experience. Would like to share your skills with our novice players. We are looking volunteer coaches to work with our skills development program. No experience is necessary other than your own basic skating and hockey skills. You will work with novices to help them learn the basics like skating, puck handling and passing. In some cases you will provide one on one support. But always you will experience
Anyone 16 years of age and over is eligible. The commitment is only one hour per Saturday morning from October to the end of March. If you are interested or have questions contact the Val Vescio, Director of Coaching, at val.vescio@gmail.com.
