Program Overview
On June 28, 2007, Triangle Special Hockey Association (TSHA) is born in North Carolina. We are in our third year and currently have 40+ children in the program. The program is fully donor funded and volunteer operated. TSHA provides the program at low or no cost to families. The following are statements of our purpose:
- To encourage the formation of
‘Special Hockey Programs’ in the Raleigh, North Carolina area
- To educate, motivate and encourage,
individuals, who have developmental or physical disabilities to
participate in the sport of ice hockey in an environment that is
adapted to the level of ability of the participating athletes
- To integrate people with disabilities with people without disabilities in order to promote awareness of challenges and to encourage teambuilding
- To use the game of hockey to assist
individuals with disabilities in developing characteristics such as
dependability, self-reliance, confidence, concentration, willingness
to share and personal accountability, that will help the individual
be more successful both within and outside a hockey environment
- To educate and encourage the general public about disability sports and special hockey in particular and to promote societal awareness of the challenges, and needs of persons who have developmental and physical disabilities.
