Team Canada Jersey - Signed on the numbers.

Proceeds go towards supporting the Calgary Blind Hockey Association. The Calgary Blind Hockey Association provides an opportunity for the blind and visually impaired to experience hockey first hand.

If you know someone who is visually impaired that would be interested in trying hockey please let me know as we are always looking for interest from the visually impaired community.

If you would be interested in volunteering, or have a team that would like to play us, please contact me and we can discuss what the team is about and how you could contribute to this rewarding experience.

Please send me a PM if interested.

Last year we had some great support from CP, if you're interested here are the links to our auction last year.

There is no max to how many tickets you can buy. As long as we have tickets to sell we can make sure you have a ticket as it goes back to helping support the cost to continue playing for the team. Last year I arranged to either meet in person or for a few who could not meet but still wanted to buy tickets we did an e-mail money transfer and I scanned the filled out tickets and e-mailed them.

One person PM'd asking if we had a website, and while we don't there are a few sites that some of you may find of interest if you would like to learn more.

At one point ASRAB (Alberta Sports & Recreation Association for the Blind) supported hockey in both Calgary and Edmonton, but when provincial funding was pulled in the late 90's we had to find a way to sustain our membership and costs on our own. They do however still have a small bio for blind individuals who happen to look to them for information on what is out there.

The link below might be of interest in that the author of the children's book in the link based the book entirely on our team and the challenges the players face. She came out and met with the team and watched us play to try to get a feel for what lessons could be taught to children.

16 tickets sold so far to CP! Thanks for your support everyone.

We are in the final week now (draw is on Sunday, November 21). If you're interested please let me know as soon as possible so we can arrange to meet or I can send you your tickets through e-mail.

Thanks!

The winner this year turned out to be a member of CalgaryPuck, Delgar! I'll stick to using his username in case he wants to keep himself anonymous on the forum.

Congratulations!

Thanks everyone who showed your support through buying tickets and hopefully I'll be able to convince a few more of you to take the plunge next year. As I've mentioned previously if anyone is interested in coming out and seeing what blind hockey is all about let me know and we can set something up for the new year.

Thanks.
