TEAM
CANADA SPECIAL HOCKEY
Each
member organization of CNSH (Canadian
National Special Hockey) was invited to nominate a player(s) to participate
in the Special Hockey competition at the International Disabled Hockey World
Cup. There were commitments,
requirements and qualifications that each player had to meet. The Kawartha
Komets Special Needs Hockey Program nominated Brandon Van Sickle, a 10-year veteran of our organization who plays
on the Senior PHOENIX team. Brandon
is the son of Andrew Snead and Robert Krueger.
He’s
an enthusiastic and polite young man…a joy to have on any team. Brandon excels
in soccer and floor hockey and has traveled extensively with Special
Olympics…competing in the World Games in soccer at Abu Dhabi…winning a bronze
medal and winning gold at the Nationals, in soccer, in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. He also plays baseball, swims and is involved
in 10-pin bowling. He displays
excellence in all he does! We’ve watched
Brandon improve and excel with each passing season and he is certainly an
excellent candidate to represent Canada at the Hockey World Cup.
The
Kawartha Komets Special Needs Hockey
Program is proud to announce that Brandon has been accepted to represent
Team Canada. Team Canada will play a
minimum of four (4) games against Special Hockey International teams from the
USA, United Kingdom, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark. This is a first-time event for Team Canada.
Everyone
in the Kawartha Komets organization
wishes Brandon the very best as he represents our country and the City of
Peterborough.
