PENGUINS, TOYOTA SPORTSPLEX TO HOST ASHA KICKOFF

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and the Toyota SportsPlex are teaming up to welcome the American Special Hockey Association (ASHA) for the Mid-Atlantic Season Kick-Off on Saturday, August 20.

AMERICAN SPECIAL HOCKEY ASSOCIATION

The ASHA is a non-profit organization, dedicated to serving those with intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities through the game of hockey.  The organization provides an environment of learning, mutual respect and a sense of community to thousands of athletes and families across North America.

The day will include a series of friendly games between athletes affiliated with teams throughout the Mid-Atlantic region at the A,B and C levels.  The first game will get underway at 9am, with events running through 3pm.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins head coach J.D. Forrest will be on hand for a special Coach’s Q&A with the athletes in the afternoon.

Community members are encouraged to come out and support the participants, while learning more about the ASHA and how they can get involved.
