I'm unable to keep doing my past #SledgeHockey #parasports because my osteoporosis specialist says it's too dangerous for me now because of lowered bone density & higher risk of not being able to recover from accidents. That really sucks because I loved playing/training in sledge hockey. I was one of only 3 women on #VancouverIsland involved in that #sport.

Two photos from my prior sledge #hockey life:

- in BC Games jersey with my hockey helmet on & giving a what are you saying look to my coach(out of view). It was the day he moved me off defensive line & put me on offensive line because I was too aggressive on defensive & kept slamming much larger male players straight into the walls to steal the puck 🏒🥅😆

- my first & only training camp with Canadian #Paralympics womens' sledge hockey team & coaches, in Vancouver. I'm wearing the number 12 jersey. I was the only woman on the island who got accepted into that training camp.
