Oyster Bay Town Councilman Anthony D. Macagnone and Town Receiver of Taxes James J. Stefanich were among those on hand to welcome the LI Blues, as well as three other hockey teams, to the Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center in Bethpage for the fifth annual LI Blues Winter Classic recently. This special event showcased hockey players with special needs enjoying a game they love.
“The LI Blues is an inspiring hockey program in which children and young adults with developmental disabilities play ice hockey in an accommodating setting,” said Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto. “It is a terrific program that brings all the fun of playing ice hockey to athletes with special needs. Their commitment and dedication to the sport is very uplifting.”
Three other teams, the East Coast Jumbos, the New Jersey Avalanche and the Southern Connecticut Storm participated in the tournament, which was eventually won by the Jumbos.
