What people are saying about Hockey Mentors

 Hi Wyatt,

This was the first time Jack was on the Ice.  And although he did not want to skate long he had a great time and talked about Hockey all weekend.  Thank you to you and your awesome volunteers that made him feel welcome at the event!!

I hope you can do this again and we will be there.  Maybe he will stay on the ice longer!!

Thanks again

 We had a great time and what a wonderful thing for you and the volunteers to put on. Pleasantly surprised at how nice, accommodating and helpful everyone we spoke with was. For a first time event, it was very well organized and seemed to run smoothly.

Thank you to you and yours for a truly enjoyable day!

 Hi

I personally would like to thank you for hosting hockey mentors to introduce ice hockey to my daughter and son. This have given these two the opportunity to experience a little sport on ice.  This is their 2nd year attending and they both had an amazing time at the event.  Again, thank you and to all the other mentors on the ice for helping them.  Most importantly a big thank you to all the sponsors for making this happen for all the children to experience.

 Hello Wyatt,

Andy, Dena and Garrett would like to THANK YOU and all of the volunteers and staff for an amazing day! This was Garrett’s first time participating and he had a great time and he even briefly got out to try skates for his very first time! Garrett has developed a passion/interest for hockey from his dad who has played hockey, coached and referred a good portion of his life and this was such a   great opportunity to get Garrett out and experience it with friends of disabilities. This really showed him nothing is impossible!

Thank you again and we look forward to 2025

 I just wanted to say thank you, Nina and her sisters had a great time.  The volunteer Faith was very nice and thoughtfully asked for the music to be turned down when it was a little loud and overwhelming for Nina.  Thanks again.  Lauren (parent)

What a fun time at Hockey Mentors for Special Olympians with Jodi, McKenna, and Corbin! James has been asking to play hockey for a long time now, so this event was exactly what we were looking for! Ian was signed up but decided to only watch.

James did some ice skating which he enjoyed but its still a struggle. There was also an area for sled hockey which we heard a lot about and he was able to try it out. He did so well!! We received information about a local sled team 

It felt like for so long hockey was out of reach for him so this mama's heart is full and immensely relieved!
