Teams participating in the tournament include Utah's sled hockey team, the NAC Golden Eagles, as well as the New England Bruins, Colorado Avalanche and Sacramento Lightning. Sled hockey Paralympic gold medallist David Conklin will be competing in the tournament in hopes of leading the Sacramento Lightning to victory.

Sled hockey allows people with physical disabilities affecting lower limbs to use sleds to move around the ice. Other than this adaptation, the rules are very similar to regular hockey games. It is a high-energy, incredibly fast-paced game. This is the first time the event has been in Park City, and it is free to all spectators. Games will take place each morning and evening.

The National Ability Center is committed to the development of lifetime skills for people of all ages and abilities by providing affordable outdoor sports and recreational experiences in a nurturing environment.

The center's motto is "If I can do this, I can do anything." For more information about the Great Salt Cup or NAC Golden Eagles, please see www.nac1985.org, or call the center at 435-649-3991.
