Disability: Polio

Lives: Peterborough

I got into Para Ice Hockey after my wife got bored of me complaining about the lack of disability sport within Peterborough.

At the time I was travelling to Lincoln regularly to play Sitting Volleyball. My wife looked online and found Inspire Peterborough, and after a quick email to them I was invited to an Inclusive Skating session on a Friday at Planet Ice in Bretton, which I really enjoyed.

I was then invited to practice with the team on a regular basis and haven’t looked back since.

I have played various sports before but I am hooked on Sledge Ice Hockey, I just wish I had found the sport earlier.
