Disability: None
Live: Peterborough
I have watched ice hockey since I was 9 years old and followed Peterborough Phantoms as a season ticket holder. My friend, Graham, plays on the sledge team and invited me to training to try it out.
It was challenging but so much fun, and everyone on the team were so encouraging and positive. It was the perfect environment for me to learn a new element of the game of ice hockey.
I used to play ice hockey and referee as a Level 1 official in my teens, but I caught COVID in March 2020 and got lung damage and struggled to pick it back up as my lungs did not function properly for a long while.
I’ve dipped into a bit of tennis with my partner over the previous two years, but I missed hockey too much! My recent lung function tests show positive signs of recovery and I’m ready to get back into hockey again!
