It was a special time on the ice of the PPL Center Saturday morning for a group of young people.
The organization, Special Hockey of the Lehigh Valley, held practice at the PPL Center rink in downtown Allentown.
Eight skaters, ages 13 to 21, already involved with Special Hockey of the Lehigh Valley, along with coach Joe Guellnitz, welcomed any new individuals interested in joining.
The program gives individuals with special needs and developmental challenges the opportunity to play hockey in a way suited to their individual abilities.
Special Hockey of the Lehigh Valley is registered with the American Special Hockey Association.
Created in 2000 for players with developmental disabilities, the American Special Hockey Association (ASHA) gives people of all ages and abilities a chance to learn and grow by playing hockey.
According to the organization's website, there are currently over 50 ASHA programs in more than 30 cities throughout the United States.
