Washington Elite Blind Hockey Initiative
Empowering blind and visually impaired athletes through the fastest game on ice. The Porter Brothers are proud to champion adaptive sports that transform lives.
2018 BVA Blind Hockey Weekend
A landmark weekend in partnership with the Blind Veterans Association, bringing together blind and visually impaired athletes from across the nation. The Washington Elite sponsored jerseys, ice time, and adaptive equipment for every participant — because nobody should be sidelined from the sport they love.
Lake Placid Blind Hockey Invitational
Set against the backdrop of the legendary Lake Placid Olympic Center, this invitational tournament welcomed blind hockey teams from across the United States and Canada. Washington Elite provided travel grants, accommodations, and full equipment sponsorships to ensure every athlete could compete on the same ice that defined Olympic history.
