Day 1 of Texas League Sled Hockey

Sled Hockey Anyone?

WE’RE HERE TO HELP

STARskaters is comprised of hockey players, referees and coaches as well as figure skaters, speed skaters and rollerbladers.

Most everyone involved in STARskaters has been fortunate enough to have enjoyed the special feeling of freedom you get when gliding effortlessly across a fresh sheet of ice. We’re hockey players, referees and coaches as well as figure skaters, speed skaters and rollerbladers. We want to share the experience with those who have been unable to enjoy skating due to a physical or developmental disability.

If you know a child who could benefit from the STARskaters program, contact us at skate@STARskaters.org We’d love to have you join us at our next skating event!
