Goodbye Coach Rox - We will miss you

9/14/2022

1 Comment

 
It's hard to put into words how much Coach Rox has meant to this program.  Luckily, we put together this little goodbye video so Rox can remember, and so can we.  Rox, you will always be part of the Sled Ranger family.  We love you.

I just watched the wonderful video. Thank you all so much. It has been my honor to have been with this program for so many amazing years and to be part of a sled family that I will cherish forever. 

I started coaching with Steph so many years ago because we were bored and generally just liked to be at the rink. And then I'm just a little competitive :) so I wanted the team to win and to feel what success is.  And then I witnessed what it means to support and encourage players - and the joy it brings to all involved and how that translates into a hockey family. We've had some truly special families in our program.

 I am so grateful for having found this program and being able to coach this group. Thank you all for the wonderful well wishes and Go Rangers! (Except if they have to play the Lightning in the playoffs)

Sincerely,
Coach Rox

Coach Rox first came to us in 2015 and has been an integral part of our program ever since.  She has been an amazing role model for our sled ranger athletes.  She has motivated them, encouraged them, pushed them, and taught them.  Most of all, anyone can see how much she loves them.  Rox has made these athletes better hockey players and better kids.  Rox, we will miss you, but you will always be part of our sled ranger. family.  Thank you to Melanie for putting together this video tribute.

It's always terrific to see our athletes grow up and become amazing adults.  Ailin started skating with us when she was 10 years old.  Here she is, getting a CAF grant for a custom sled.   Congratulations Ailin!

11th Annual NHL Sled Hockey Classic

We sent some of our athletes to play with the adult Sled Rangers at the 11th Annual NHL Sled Classic, which took place in Wayne, NJ this year.  Sebs and Max got in a lot of ice time and contributed a lot, with both scoring goals in the tournament.  Coach Rox also got in on the action, and we were very happy to be able to not only join in the tournament fun, but also to bring the kids program and the adult program closer together.  Go Rangers!

Check out a heartwarming commercial from Guinness which portrays dedication through friends playing basketball with an amazing twist in the end.

It's not really about sled hockey, but its still about adaptive sports, and its a very nice piece.

Some people call it sled hockey; we just call it hockey.  Wow.

This commercial from 2014 is a nice example of the "hockey is hockey" sentiment, and was one of the first of a new breed of mainstream awareness pieces for sled hockey.  Kudos to Gatorade.
