Milton will have a floor hockey team competing in Calgary for the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games Calgary 2024!
After 24 years, the Milton Mighty Ducks will head west to compete for a gold medal.
Head coach Ron Twiss has been there since the beginning, and he’s excited to see his athletes get this opportunity.
Over 4,000 visitors, including athletes, coaches, officials, and mission staff, along with their families and friends, will flock to Calgary for the winter games.
Twiss says the Milton Special Olympics will need some help in sending the athletes to Alberta, and are grateful for any and all donations that come their way.
He’s excited to see their hard work pay off. He remembers how the program began, and how it was a way to give the athletes a hobby that kept them active. Now, they’re going for gold!
If you’d like to help them in their journey, you can donate here. They’re hoping to raise $22,700 to cover expenses like travel and equipment.
The Special Olympics Canada Winter Games Calgary 2024 will begin on Tuesday, February 27th and run until Saturday, March 2nd.
