As part of the Atlanta Thrashers Hockey is for Everyone initiative, the Atlanta Thrashers partnered up with One Childhood, The AAHL Foundation and the Georgia Sled Hockey Foundation Team during Tuesday’s 4/7 Thrashers game. These outstanding youth athletes performed a sled hockey demo during the game’s first intermission.
In addition, Brad Emmerson from the US National Sled Hockey Team was on hand to meet the kids & take part in an on-ice interview, explaining to fans more about the sport. After the game, the group participated in a meet & greet with Thrashers Forward Rich Peverley and received goodies to take home.
Congratulations goes out to all our sled hockey participants: John, Scott, and Teresa Joiner, James Seidl, Allison Schwab, Parr Burton, Bobby Hill, and Matt & Christopher Perry.
