Great Hockey Program for Individuals with FASD

The Jack McGee Kawartha Komets Hockey Program just completed their 4th season.  The Komets had three teams, Junior, Intermediate and Senior...based on skill levels, not age.  

They had 55 players who enjoyed a game, a practice or a road game each weekend from early October to mid-March.

The Komets provide girls, boys & young adults with physical, emotional and/or neurodevelopmental challenges with the opportunity to play the game they love...hockey.

The Komets are a member team of Special Hockey International and compete against teams from Ajax, Toronto, Newmarket, Innisfil and Cambridge.

The Komets have a significant number of players (boys, girls and teenagers) with FASD.  They have knowledgable staff & personal who are familiar with the challenges that accompany FASD.
