Dallas Stars Hosting Sled Hockey During September
The Dallas Stars are greatly involved in their community, and sled hockey is just another way they support and connect with hockey fans.
The Dallas Stars just aren’t sit-back and do nothing kind of guys. There have been several charity events that are constants on the Stars calendar, and sled hockey events have always been a favorite.
Not only have these events been a great opportunity to raise funds for various organizations, but the players that participate always seem to have a great time, too.
Sled hockey has a special place in the heart of the Stars organization because sled hockey is an alternative for hockey lovers with disabilities who may not otherwise be able to play the game they love.
Sled hockey follows pretty much the same rules, but allows players to do so on sleds instead of skates.
