Ice hockey for special kids with special needs


The 2008-2009 Capital City Condors

Capital City Condors is an ice hockey team for youth who have been deemed ineligible to play on any other hockey team  in the City of Ottawa due to a disability. Players are ages 6 and up, of all ability levels and are each given a high degree of personal supervision by the Condors on-ice coaches. Some players receive one-on-one attention throughout each session. A "game" consists of on-ice warm-ups and drills, followed by an inter-squad game.  Fun, skill development, sportsmanship and teamwork are highly emphasized. Youth of ALL hockey abilities are welcome - the ability to skate at the beginning of the season is not a requirement for registration. The program is highly rewarding experience for the players, parents and volunteers as children who only dream of playing on a hockey team see their dreams come true and their abilities progress.

All of the Condors' coaches and administrators are volunteers who are highly motivated to provide a quality hockey experience for these special youth. All volunteers who  work directly with the youth are required to undergo a mandatory police check. Parents are not permitted on-ice with their child, but could volunteer off-ice or for another Condors team if they wish.

The Capital City Condors hockey club is a member of Special Hockey International.

Funding for the Condors hockey program is provided through registration fees, fundraising and donations from individuals and our generous sponsors.
