Have you ever wanted to play Ice Hockey!?   Now is your chance! The Blind
Ice Hockey team Washington Wheelers is hosting an event called 

"Try-It- Blind Ice Hockey"

 

Who: Any student who is visually impaired ages 10- 17 

Where: Kettler Capitals Iceplex- 627 N Glebe Rd, Arlington, VA 22203

When: January 7th from 8:30 am- 4:30 pm (times may vary depending on meeting

The Washington Wheelers are a Blind Ice Hockey team that practices at
Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington VA (Same place as the Washington
Capitals!).  The Wheelers compete across the nation in the growing sport of
Blind Ice Hockey.  The game is played the same as hockey but with a larger
puck that rattles and makes noise.  B1 (totally blind athletes) athletes are
in goal as B2 and B3's (Partially sighted and visually impaired athletes)
play the forward lines and defense.  The fast pace game is a blast.  At
Try-It! Blind Ice Hockey players of all ages can lace up their skates and
learn how to skate, how to handle the puck, and scrimmage.  

The Maryland School for the Blind will be providing students who sign-up the
opportunity to go to this event with hands on help from the PE staff.  Pick
up time will be Sunday January 7th at 8:30 am at The Maryland School for the
Blind.  An additional pick-up location will be added at the Greenbelt Metro
Station for students who live closer to that area at 9:15 am.  Families are
also invited to attend and meet us at the Kettler Capitals Iceplex at 10:30
am. Drop off will be at 4:30 pm at MSB (Sunday students can stay) or 3:30 at
the Greenbelt Metro Station.
