BORP’s youth Sharks Sled Hockey Team compete at the 2018 Disabled Hockey Festival

By Trooper Johnson on April 20, 2018 1 Comments

Last week BORP’s youth sled hockey team, the Sharks Sled Hockey, were in Chicago for the 2018 Disabled Hockey Festival. Last year the Sharks debuted at the tournament by winning first place in their division and coming home with a national championship, so excitement was high as the team headed to the Windy City.

The Sharks Sled Hockey team had a great opening game against the Colorado Avalanche Youth Sled Hockey team. The BORP youth won 10-0, with BORP’s Garnett Silver-Hall scoring four goals. In their second game the Sharks faced Cincinnati and Zach Nazareno, one of BORP’s youngest players, scored four goals leading the team to another win, 8-0. The team went on to finish pool play undefeated after a 3-1 win against the Chicago Thunder and advanced to the semi-finals.

In semi-finals the Sharks Sled Hockey team defeated Chicago Wings of Steel, 5-2 and prepared to face Pittsburg Penguins. The Sharks played hard in the final game for the Youth C Division Championship and ended up losing 2-1 and finishing second place in the tournament.

The Disabled Hockey Festival was an incredible experience for the BORP youth and we would like to thank Kristi Yamaguchi’s Always Dream Foundation, the Oakland Ice Center Operated by Sharks Ice, the Sharks Foundation, and the many BORP supporters who made this possible.

East Bay Gives: May 4, 2017

By Betsy Dorsett on April 20, 2017 No Comments

On May 4, 2017 BORP will be participating in East Bay Gives, a 24-hour-online giving blitz celebrating the generosity of the Bay Area.

May 4, 2017

Last year, East Bay Gives successfully rallied over 8,000 donors to raise more than $1 million for non-profits like ours that make the East Bay region a special place to live, work and thrive. In 2017, East Bay Gives aims to mobilize more than 40,000 people to give $5 million to support hundreds of non-profits in the East Bay, Silicon Valley, and San Francisco.

This year BORP is hoping to raise money to support our ongoing programs providing sports and recreation opportunities for people with physical disabilities. In the last few weeks our youth sled hockey team, the Sharks, competed in their first competitive tournament. It was thrilling to watch the Sharks win game after game against bigger and faster teams from Wisconsin and Chicago to win the National Division Championship. And the team is already looking to next year’s tournament and were back on the ice for their regular practice just a few days after their victory. Will you join the #EastBayGives movement and help BORP send the Sharks sled hockey team to Chicago next year to defend their title? Here are three ways you can get involved:

  • VISIT: Starting at midnight on May 4, 2017, visit www.EastBayGives.org from your desktop, laptop, or mobile device.
  • GIVE: Simply select Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program and make your donation.
  • SHARE: Use #EastBayGives on Facebook and Twitter to spread the word and encourage your network to join the movement with you.

We couldn’t do this work without the support of our community! Thank you for your generosity.

Hockey with the Sharks

By paul on September 24, 2010 No Comments
In Sled Hockey, any day on the ice is a good day.  It is an amazing day when you get out there and get to skate with members of the San Jose Sharks.

The Sharks skated with the kids from the youth hockey program at Oakland Ice Center and members of BORP’s Sled Hockey Program.  Sharkie was also on hand to skate around with everyone.

I gotta say, this was awesome.  The Sharks were passing pucks and we were taking shots on one of the youth goalies and it was a blast. 

  

Afterwards, they stuck around to sign autographs for the kids.  Marcus threw kids out of the way to get up there for a photo.

We have Sled Hockey practice every Sunday.  See you on the ice!
