[NFBSF] Try Blind Hockey and Skating at Sharks Ice

[Marco Salsiccia]

Hi all!

For those of you that don't know, I've been a huge San Jose Sharks fan since the team formed back when I was in the 1st grade. The Sharks Foundation is working with the Dented Puck group to bring a blind hockey exhibition and skating event to the Sharks Ice practice facility in San Jose on October 21st!

If we can get a good contingent of interested blind folks from around the Bay Area to attend, we very well may get a blind hockey league instituted out here. Please share this around, and I hope to see you all on the ice! Forwarded message with info follows:

> Whether you're an all star hockey player who lost their sight, or you've never even roller skated before, come try ice skating in a safe environment.   Supported by members of the US Blind Hockey Team and local hockey players, you will learn to skate in a safe, blind-friendly environment.   And even score a goal against a real blind hockey goal with our big, loud blind hockey puck!
> 
> Blind Hockey is a community, please bring a friend or a family member to skate with you.  We will provide everyone skates, helmets, and sticks, all you gotta do is take that first step on the ice!
> Our ice time is from 6pm - 7pm, we ask that you arrive between 5:30pm and 5:45pm to get skates and get comfortable.  
> 
> The San Jose Sharks have shown great interest in beginning a blind hockey program this season following our skate.  The local program would offer everything from 1 on 1 support for first timers, all the way up to elite training for blind hockey players.  If you are already chomping at the bit to get on the ice (pun intended) and are interested in joining the local program, please shoot a quick email to Josh who is running the event  josh at thedentedpuck.com <mailto:josh at thedentedpuck.com>

> See You on The Ice!
