October 30, 2017—On Sunday, October 15, the High School Ice Hockey program held its third annual "Adapted Ice Breaker" with Youth Challenge, a non-profit group that provides athletic opportunities to students with physical disabilities. The event is both a fundraiser for Youth Challenge and a community service opportunity for the hockey program to participate in Sled Hockey with special needs students.
Approximately 25 of Shaker Heights High School hockey players volunteer their time, raising more than $6,400 for Youth Challenge. Seniors Geoff Grossman-McKee and Stephen Straffon did the event planning with Youth Challenge and organized the fundraising efforts.
