The National Ability Center is offering sled hockey lessons at the new Park City Ice Arena every Saturday morning through the end of May from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Sled hockey is a Paralympic sport played exactly like ice hockey, with the players seated in special sleds. In the United States, sled hockey leagues are open to people with and without disabilities. The center invites anyone interested in learning to play on a recreational basis to join. The cost is $5 per lesson, or $60 for the season. All equipment is provided, but be sure to wear appropriate attire. Those interested in registering may call Francie Kochanek at 649-3991 ext. 609.
