The Para sport of Blind Hockey is played by athletes who are
blind or partially sighted – with approximately 10% vision or less – using an
adapted puck that is larger than a traditional puck and makes noise. The sport
is played by children, youth, and adults across Canada and in six countries
worldwide. The BHL is the most competitive, elite division of the Para
sport with many players who have previously played high-level traditional
hockey including junior hockey.
The local Ottawa 67’s Children and Youth Blind Hockey
program powered by OSEG Foundation will be part of the festivities during Game
# 1 as “Blue Line Buddies” during the Opening Ceremonies followed by a showcase
scrimmage during the first intermission. Come on out and cheer on the local
Ottawa Youth as they take the ice with their heroes as they dream of someday
playing in the BHL.
The event will also be livestreamed on YouTube. For more
