Whether they hit the ice on skates or on sleds, hockey offers Veterans a chance to get together for exercise and healthy competition.“The partnership VA has formed with USA Hockey, Hasek’s Heroes and the Buffalo Sabres brings the right expertise together,” remarked recreation therapy supervisor Pamela Kaznowski.
Next up is a clinic which will be held on Monday Jan. 16 at noon at Bud Bakewell Ice Rink* in Buffalo. All necessary gear is provided. Veterans in the New York area can learn more by calling Pamela Kaznowski at 716-862-6814 or by e-mailing Pamela.Kaznowski@va.gov.***
