Through engaging conversations, Inside The Crease will look into the powerhockey world in an innovative way. We’ll be chatting with players, coaches, volunteers, and others involved in the sport to learn about how they became involved, their successes, and their future goals. Digging a little deeper, we’ll discover exactly who they are as individuals and what makes them tick on and off the floor. We want to break down the barriers and dispel the stereotypes associated with having a disability, changing perspectives while showcasing each individual’s story.
