More info all,

There is some more information about the event and blind hockey on the page
below.  There also is a link on the page where it will take you to the
Spirit of discovery park site where you can sign up 

https://www.nhl.com/blues/community/blind-hockey

The people behind the spiritofdescroverypark.com
<http://spiritofdescroverypark.com/> Jeff and Jamie are doing lots of great
work for disabled activities here in STL. Jeff is our hockey coach and He is
excited for the future. I encourage any of you who are interested in this to
Check out the spiritofdescroverypark.com
<http://spiritofdescroverypark.com/> page.

On the page to sign up it answers any questions you might have, but this is
sponsored by the spirit of discovery park with backing also by the STL
Blues. This is definitely not going away as long as there is interest.

Kyle
