With a number of players players from the Durham Region on the same team, the King's decided it was time for special hockey in the Durham Region. With months of planning and a lot of hard work, the dream came true. The players range in age from seven to forty years of age, and come from Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Port Perry, Claremont, Courtice and Bowmanville. Not all of the players knew the game, but they wanted to learn and play. Under the guidance guidance of a fantastic coaching staff, the kids learned to skate and play hockey.
