A very special squad

I have watched them play at the Peak Arena a number of times. They really do love the game. I think it is good for the high school teams that play them to learn service and to give back to the game they love. Great job Renegades!

We are so excited to hear about how well the Renegades are doing! Mary and Donny, you are amazing!

Just to watch these kids in action will make a grown man blubber like a baby with the joy you see the program bring to these special needs kids and their volunteer junior and senior coaches. When these kids take to the ice, you can't stop yourself from cheering for them and wanting them to succeed. It's heart-wrenching fun and joy. Thanks for the great write-up!!

As a parent of a player on the Special Needs South team, I want to thank everyone that makes this great opportunity possible! Our team manager, our coaches, our volunteers -- we couldn't do this without them. We have seen miracles happen for many of our players. Regular hockey games are typically agressive and competitive. The special hockey games are fun and amazing -- everyone cheers for all the players. Very touching to see.

A huge, special thanks to all those who assist and donate...the coaches, volunteers, suppliers, the arenas, and especially the HS teams who play our kids. Those kids who show up to play against our kids are doing a great act of service and enriching their own lives as well. Our children are making memories that will last VIVIDLY with them for as long as they live. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for valuing our children as we do!
