I was invited to play with the Sledge Hammers (National Sledge Hockey League) against Team Ontario. What an awesome time I had playing against and with with these very skilled players. That's me going for the puck against Donovan Snell (Matt Turcotte in the background) in a photo from the Ottawa Citizen web-site. I qualified for the Sledge Hammers this year but in these economic times (and currently without a job and many family responsibilities) I could not afford to participate. Maybe next year, if I'm still fast enough. I'd really like to be part of that before time catches up to me :). My son Jeremy has taken the year off from sledge hockey to pursue power lifting (school and part-time employment). Despite cerebral palsy that most severely effects his right leg, he's hoisting over 500 lbs in a dead lift in the 100 Kg class and holds records for his age and weight class in the Canadian Federation of Power Lifting! Me, I play some pickup able bodied hockey but I can't let go of sledge hockey.
