New England Invitational Sled Hockey Tournament
	Operation Comfort started a sled hockey team in 2007 after realizing that our amputees wanted to play a full contact sport.  So with the help of the Red River Valley Fighter Pilots Assn. and the Air Warrior Courage Foundation we raised the money for twenty sleds.   We were fortunate to have Lonnie Hannah, a Paralympic Gold and Bronze Medal winner move into the San Antonio area where he happily accepted the role of our coach.  The San Antonio Rampage Hockey Team was kind enough to adopt us and supply us with hockey gear.  The Ice and Golf Center at Northwoods donated ice time to us and after five or six months of practicing we were on the tournament road.  We have played tournaments in Chicago, Boston, Park City, Buffalo, Dallas, Austin and Houston.  Our team has excelled in each game they've played and we know they will just get better and better.  We have four of our guys heading to Rochester, NY for the 2010 Paralympic tryouts & expect many more as we get more participants for the following years.
