Chris Drury NY Rangers camp for disabled athletes.

New York Rangers Captain Chris Drury holds camp for Southern CT Storm Special Hockey

 

Chris Drury, Captain of the New York Rangers, hosted a very wonderful camp for members of the Southern Connecticut Storm Special Hockey team.  Chris invited our team to join him at the Rangers training facility for a private 3 day hockey camp this week.

Working one on one with the players, he was able to connect with each child.   Chris has a very natural, easy going personality, and instinctively found a way to personally reach each of the players who attended in their own unique way.  

Chris grew up skating at the Wonderland of Ice in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the skating home of Storm Hockey.  With the help of rink manager John Ferguson, Chris became aware of our very special hockey team and invited us to attend a private camp with him at the State of the art Rangers practice facility.

Needless to say, the camp was a huge success; the athletes had a wonderful time, as did their families.  And I believe Chris has a new, very adoring fan club!  

We wish to thank Chris for his time with our special athletes, taking time out of his own personal schedule to work with the kids from Storm Hockey. 

Southern Connecticut Storm Special Hockey is designed for players with a developmental disability.  Getting ready to begin its third season, new, interested players should contact Program Director Debbie McQuilkin at dmcquilkin@specialhockey.org or call 203-966-9851.
