About:
Our PAL 12U AAA Minor Jr Islanders team participated in its community service this past Saturday, October 28th. They visited with the LI Roughriders sled hockey team and scrimmaged them at Bethpage Ice Rink. The players were able to meet and speak with the coaches, players and parents of the Roughriders and learn a little about their handicaps and how hockey is a fantastic outlet for them. The Jr Islanders team had a very difficult time navigating the sleds and were totally amazed at how skilled the Roughriders were. It was very humbling and rewarding for our boys (and parents) and they were able to donate $500 to the Roughriders. The Roughriders couldn’t have been more gracious and welcoming and have invited us back anytime we would like to visit. They are truly a remarkable group of people.
