Paralympic hockey deserves recognition

Posted February 26, 2010 10:00 pm

Thank you, Burt Constable, for the wonderful front-page article about JJ O'Connor and the U.S. Paralympic sled hockey team. My 14-year-old son, Sean, plays sled hockey for the Hornets. JJ is the Hornets' general manager and started the team six years ago. I am so glad JJ and the Paralympic team are getting the recognition they deserve.

Sled hockey and the Hornet staff, team and family are a wonderful part of our lives. Articles like this one continue to inspire all of us. Good luck, USA, in the Olympics. We will be pulling for you!
