The NYHL is happy to announce it will be collaborating with Canadian Blind Hockey this Saturday, February 7th at Downsview Arena for a Blind Hockey Showcase from 2:30 – 4:30 PM.

Join us for a celebration of skill, inclusion, and the love of the game as the Canadian National Blind Hockey team play an in-house scrimmage with NYHL players participating in the action.

Canadian Blind Hockey is the national sports organization for the Para sport of Blind Hockey in Canada. Their programming spans the country from coast-to-coast while supporting Canadian hockey players who are blind or partially sighted of all ages, from playing on the pond to proudly standing on the podium. Canadian Blind Hockey programs positively contribute to the physical, emotional and mental health of their participants through community building, social recreation, and peer support, while at the same time combatting negative issues common among Canadians with a disability including unemployment, obesity, depression, and social isolation.
