Overview
Project Summary: The OPWHL project uses both the resources of players and volunteers to run a wheelchair hockey league as an outlet for individuals with disabilities. This hockey league will motivate and encourage those who use an electric wheelchair to get out in the community to play a sport to grow as leaders and as people. Our specific goal is to have 40 players join the league with the potential for the number to grow in future years. There is a need for wheelchair friendly sports in the area as there are little to none available to no cost to participants. The OPWHL offers that sport in a safe, friendly yet competitive environment. The league will rely on community support, funding obtained from sponsors, and league own fundraising efforts. Deliverables: Have 40 players join league Create a contact sheet of at least 10 referees Develop official league rules for the OPWHL $25,000 in donations from individual, community, and corporate donors
