jason37 2 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 Yeah he really can ... the goalies have a hard time because they watch his "nub" instead of the puck. But his shot is great!His parents are awesome also !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KillerCarlson 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 We have a kid down here in Huntsville, AL who plays with 1 arm as well. Excellent hockey player! Fast, can stickhandle, knows the game...and best of all, he seems like a great kid.He uses a couple wraps of tape to hold the butt end of the stick to his shorter arm.

Eagles39 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 We used to have a kid at my school who was missing everything from the middle of his shin down. He had a prosthetic foot, and half a shin and he played hockey. He played varsity hockey for us. He could skate fine but it does really put things in perspective.

cause4alarm 6 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 I saw a biography at Barnes and Noble about this legless teen hockey player who used prosthetic legs. I don't think he was playing at a level near this guy though.I played open with one of those sled hockey players once. Since no goalies showed up, we had to play the post. That bastard had a pretty accurate shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
