Brick Special Needs Ice Hockey League

Alex has been actively involved in the Brick Challenger sports program for a few years now. He especially likes the bowling and for the most part he enjoys Baseball. The Brick Hockey Club
has put together a pretty fantastic Ice Hockey program for special needs children between the ages of 5 and 17.

I had hoped to enroll Alex in it but he has absolutely put his foot down on attending. "I don't like sports", he says, "Only bowling - and baseball". I'm not going to push it and make him attend or do something that he doesn't want to do. But, a part of me wishes he would at least try it.

In the meantime, his sister is having a blast on the ice (and still working on learning to skate). Despite having extremely limited depth perception due to her eye condition she has only fallen a few times and when she falls - she laughs. I'm so surprised my diva girly girl wants to play ice hockey. Never a dull moment.
