Estas estrategias ayudarán a aumentar el éxito y la independencia del niño en completar sus rutinas de vida diaria.

The Cincinnati Cyclones Special Hockey Team is looking for a few more players to fill out this season’s team! The goal of Cincinnati Cyclones Special Hockey is to give people with developmental disabilities the chance to play the great sport of ice hockey in an environment that has been adapted to their level of ability. Special hockey serves a wide range of disabilities and provides an opportunity for everyone to enjoy the sport.
The team is open to everyone and practices on Sundays from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. at Northland Ice Center!
