On Thursday, the Board of Commissioners, and the county Division of disABILITIES and Special Needs along with Weisman Sled Stars will host a sled hockey and skating day at the Winterfest Ice Skating Rink (501 N Park Drive Cherry Hill, NJ) for residents starting at 3:45 p.m. This is the first time the division will be providing this opportunity to this community in Camden County.
“We’re thrilled to welcome resident to the Winterfest Ice Skating Rink for an afternoon of fun,” Commissioner Ed McDonnell said. “This event is a great opportunity for residents of all ages to try something new or hone their sled hockey and ice-skating skills.”
Weisman Sled Stars is an organization comprised of children of varying ages and disabilities who play sled hockey, a sport that uses the same rules as hockey but instead of leg skating, players sit on specially designed sleds and use two short sticks to propel themselves across the ice.
If you are interested in participating in any activities that the Division of disABILITIES and Special Needs facilitates or know someone who might be, please contact Karen Weidner at [email protected] or by phone at (856) 216-2127
