Special Hockey Classic
USA Hockey and the USA Hockey Atlantic District hosted the 2019 USA Hockey Special Hockey Classic at the Ice Vault Arena in Wayne, New Jersey. Special Hockey teams from around the country were invited to compete November 8-10, 2019.
The special hockey discipline is intended to give people with a wide range of cognitive and developmental disabilities the chance to play the sport of ice hockey in an environment that is adapted to the level of ability. Last year's inaugural event saw 10 teams take the ice at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
