Oct 3- DisAbility Sports Festival at Cal State San Bernardino
Cal State San Bernardino has no ice rink, but they have asked LA Kings Sled Hockey's managers Todd and Christie Jenkins to give the keynote address to athletes and volunteers at their annual event. Come out and try several different adaptive sports, including kayaking, wheelchair basketball, archery, goalball, and many other things. The festival is open to people with all sorts of disabilities, including both mobility disabilities and developmental disabilities.
LA Kings Sled Hockey will have a booth there where you will be able to see a sled first hand, try shooting a hockey puck, and meet some of the athletes. We may even have some sleds with wheel kits for people to try. Find out more about the event and/or sign up as a participant or volunteer here.

Dec 18-19- Outdoor game vs. The Ducks in Sacramento. ROAD TRIP!
What the...???? Yes, you read that right. It's an outdoor game at a temporary outdoor rink that will be at Raley Field in Sacramento. The AHL will be hosting an outdoor hockey game between the AHL's Stockton Thunder (Calgary's new AHL affiliate) vs. the Bakersfield Condors (Edmonton's new AHL affiliate) on December 18, and we have been asked to play a sled hockey game prior to the AHL game. They are working out the schedule as we speak, and the official AHL schedule will be released on August 31, so there is a possibility it will be slightly different than described. Yes, we will be playing one or two outdoor games on an outdoor rink in a baseball stadium. Sounds like a hoot!
