Discovering Blind Hockey | Blaine, Minnesota

Erin and I travelled recently to Blaine, Minnesota in support of our local Warrior hockey team (disabled veterans). There we had an opportunity to look at some of the other type of hockey happening there during the 5th annual Hendrickson Foundation hockey tournament. In this video, I talk to the father of a blind goalie and take a closer look (listen) to the pucks and whistles used in the Blind Hockey community.

Players must be classified as eligible in one of the three International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) classifications. "Blind Hockey has been played in Canada since the early 1970’s. The sport was first played in the U.S. on October 18, 2014 with the first ever Blind Hockey Summit in Newburgh, NY. At the 2015 USA Hockey Disabled Hockey Festival, in Buffalo, NY, blind Hockey was introduced to the rest of the Disabled Hockey Community. "
