Support Dreamplex's Sled Hockey Dreams

In 2021 Dreamplex hosted a sled hockey Jamboree to give kids a chance to try sled hockey while allowing more experienced players to play and compete with the Jacksonville team. The adult team began competing in 2022 with games and tournaments throughout the southeast United States. Dreamplex aspires to offer the adult team more competitive opportunities while initiating the next steps to give kids the opportunity to participate in more youth hockey tournaments.

Dreamplex’s efforts to establish adaptive sports opportunities in 2019 included the start of a sled hockey team named the Sled Bears, inspired by Orlando’s local hockey team the Solar Bears. Initially, a series of practices were offered to provide children and adults with physical disabilities an opportunity to play hockey. Practices have been offered at the Ice Den in Maitland and at the Ice Factory in Kissimmee to help children and adults with disabilities in Central Florida learn the game of hockey, develop their skills, and have fun.
