SAN JOSE -On April 6-9, Sharks Sports & Entertainment's Solar4America Ice at San Jose and Fremont are hosting the 13th annual USA Disabled Hockey Festival. The festival is the largest disabled hockey event of its kind, bringing together all of the disabled hockey disciplines in one location with athletes from across the country- including teams from Alaska, Massachusetts and Texas.
"We are excited and honored to host such a prestigious event as the USA Disabled Hockey Festival," said Sharks Sports and Entertainment Vice President Jon Gustafson. "We have hosted a number of national tournaments for USA Hockey and have been interested in participating in this one for some time. Hopefully by bringing this event to San Jose, it will foster the growth of a number of different hockey disciplines moving forward."
The mission of the festival is to provide a fun and exciting weekend of hockey for these incredible athletes in a grand event as well as promote and grow disabled hockey throughout the Bay Area and around the country.
