Jeremy has started a good fitness regiment with the goal of improving his sledge hockey. He's involved me in doing sit-ups, since core strength is critical to good sledge control. In the early sessions I was out performing him handily. Within a week he was easily doubling my performance! I'd been waiting for that day :)

My son has a new sledge! His new bucket, unfortunately puts pressure on his Sciatic nerve and his right leg goes numb. Being a hemiplegic, his right leg has had a couple of surgeries and is a little less muscled than the left. We're going to have to try to pad that side to try to compensate. I'm thinking either something he wears (extra hockey socks under his shin pads up to his bum) or fitting some sort of padding in the bucket itself. The latter is the more common solution I believe. Of course we'll want the solution to be as light weight as possible. Any experience with this sort of problem out there? Any suggestions on sorting out the pressure point? He feels it in the leg but I've read that the pinch could be as far back as the lower back. I suspect the back of the leg or buttocks since the numbing is fairly immediate and disappears when he removes his foot straps or gets out of his sledge.
