South Shore Ice Dragons is an adaptive and inclusive special ice hockey program that provides facilitated programs for special needs/disabled individuals of all ages, from 5 years and older into adulthood, within the South Shore of Massachusetts, focusing on ice hockey and team building activities that serve individuals with physical, developmental, cognitive, and/or intellectual disabilities. We are a registered 501c3 non-profit organization and a member of ASHA, the American Special Hockey Association.

• Invite and engage with individuals with physical and/or special needs, and their caregivers, to use creative solutions for their identified goals and challenges.

• Provide recreational opportunities with purpose for disabled/special needs families that are not available in the mainstream.

• Provide inclusive community events that celebrate the disabled/special needs community’s abilities.

• Support community collaborations that enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities/special needs, their families, and the community at large.

Massachusetts is one of the stronger states in the U.S. for adaptive and special hockey programs, largely because hockey is deeply embedded in the state's sports culture and there are several well-established organizations supporting players with disabilities. Read More About Special Hockey
