The Blinded Veterans Association, Leveling The Playing Field, World’s Fair Park – St. Louis, and USA Hockey are teaming up to bring you a very special program at Kirkwood Ice Arena on Tuesday, July 18th. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience the fast-growing Parasport sport of Blind Hockey, and cheer on members of USA Hockey’s emerging Blind Hockey program as they play an exciting demo!

It’s also the perfect opportunity for adults and children of all ages who are blind or partially sighted in the region to come try skating as well as the sport of Blind Hockey. The event will consist of a learn-to-skate introduction, a Try Blind Hockey session, and then a full-ice demonstration game where actual blind hockey players hit the ice and show you what Blind Hockey is all about.

HOW TO REGISTER FOR THE SKATE

If you are blind or partially sighted of any age at all you are welcome to join us on the ice for the try skating and Blind Hockey session. No experience is necessary and the event is free. Whether you are skating for the very first time or you are already a potential Blind Hockey superstar, there will be fun and safe programming provided for everyone.

World’s Fair Park – St. Louis and the event organizers will provide skates, helmets, and protective equipment as well as volunteer skating mentors to assist with instruction and or guiding on ice. To register for the learn-to-skate and try Blind Hockey program, please fill out the online form here: https://washingtonelite.com/?page_id=740
