The Electric City Maroon & White were established in November 2016 with a board of like minded individuals, the team was assembled with the vision of furthering the mission statement of “everyone plays”
Electric City Special Needs Hockey provides opportunities for any child or adult with physical or developmental special needs. We include everyone, no matter their ability, focusing on improving or developing new skills and working on individual goals while having fun at the same time. Coaches and volunteers work with players to learn to skate, working on individual goals, and assisting in pushing wheelchairs and much more. In our program every child and or adult is valued, included and given the opportunity to be part of a team and treated equally. We offer a junior and an intermediate team for players of all different skill levels.
With practices and away games they develop many close and meaningful friendships, discover new strengths, new skills, improve their health, find joy, build confidence, fulfillment and most importantly have so much fun in the process! Our main goal is to always have fun!
There’s no competition and everyone’s success is celebrated no matter how big or small!
