American Special Hockey Association (ASHA)
UCT has partnered with the American Special Hockey Association (ASHA) to help grow special hockey programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
ASHA is a volunteer-driven association created especially to benefit players with disabilities. Some of the most common of these disabilities are autism, Down syndrome, Tourette syndrome, cerebral palsy and ADD/ADHD. AHSA's programs give players of all ages and abilities a chance to learn and grow by playing hockey. There are currently more than 80 special hockey teams with over 1,000 athletes throughout the U.S.
UCT members support ASHA through such volunteer efforts as sponsoring ice time for games and practices, hosting post-practice lunches, helping sponsor tournaments and camps, and holding fundraisers to help teams with travel costs and purchasing necessary equipment.
