2023-02-18 15:15 - 16:15 | Genesee Valley Park Sports Complex, 131 Elmwood Ave, Rochester, NY, 14611, United States
Sled hockey is a fabulous sport where all play on ice sleds to skate, shoot, pass, block, and score. Try It Clinics introduce you to the coaches and volunteers who run sled hockey programming — for youth and adults. Meet players from the Sled Hawks adult team.

Bring a friend and try it out together! Sled hockey is an inclusive game for people with and without disabilities. Our volunteers are also able to push a player who may need that support while they focus on hitting and passing the puck.

Come give it a try! Free! No experience necessary! All equipment provided.
Contact us with questions!

Many thanks to our hosts at Genesee Valley Sports Complex for making this possible!
