Fire Fighter vs Veteran Sled Challenge
Cheer on local firefighters and military veterans as they battle it out on the ice in an unforgettable sled hockey showdown. Meet the players, experience the excitement of adaptive sports, and help Hockey Mentors provide life-changing opportunities for children, veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
Hockey for Every Ability
More Than Hockey
Sometimes the biggest win isn't a goal—it's a smile, a first lap around the rink, or a fist bump between new friends. Every Hockey Mentors event is filled with moments that remind us why inclusion, encouragement, and community matter.
Adaptive Hockey for Every Ability
At Hockey Mentors, every skate is about more than learning the game. We create a welcoming community where children, veterans, and individuals with disabilities build confidence, form lasting friendships, and discover what they're capable of—with a volunteer beside them every step of the way.

Community Recognition
"Hockey is for everyone."
"Sled hockey gear is not cheap, but the feeling of community on the ice is invaluable. Teammates and volunteers are the kindest, toughest, most spirited folks you could ever hope to meet... Knowing this inclusive environment exists and is made affordable by generous donors makes me proud to live in Metro Detroit."
