Welcome to Southern Connecticut Storm Special Hockey, Inc.
A 501(c)3 Organization

 Special Hockey exists for the enrichment of the athlete with a developmental disability. In addition to physical hockey skills, the program emphasizes the development of desirable individual characteristics such as dependability, self-reliance, concentration, willingness to share and personal accountability. The game of hockey is used by Special Hockey to develop within each player the characteristics that will help the player to be more successful both inside and outside a hockey environment.

Southern Connecticut Storm was formed to fill the need in Southern Connecticut for a safe hockey experience for children and young adults with a developmental disability.  Our athletes are learning to skate, learning hockey skills and playing games with other Special Hockey teams in our surrounding area. 

We offer friendships, independence, self esteem and a team experience to our athletes. 

The Storm is run entirely by volunteers, both youth and adult.

Come in, look around, and contact us with any questions.  We're glad you're here!

If you have an interested player or mentor, please contact us!

See You At The Rink!

Hosted by a wonderful role model

Chris Drury, Captain of the New York Rangers, hosted a very wonderful camp for members of the Southern Connecticut Storm Special Hockey team.  Chris invited our team to join him at the Rangers training facility for a private hockey camp this week.

Working one on one with the players, he was able to connect with each child.   Chris has a very natural, easy going personality, and instinctively found a way to personally reach each of the players who attended in their own unique way.  

Chris grew up skating at the Wonderland of Ice in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the skating home of Storm Hockey.  With the help of rink manager John Ferguson, Chris became aware of our very special hockey team and invited us to attend a private camp with him at the State of the art Rangers practice facility.

Needless to say, the camp was a huge success; the athletes had a wonderful time, as did their families.  And I believe Chris has a new, very adoring fan club!  

We wish to thank Chris for his time with our special athletes, taking time out of his own personal schedule to work with the kids from Storm Hockey.  We are so very grateful.

Southern Connecticut Storm Special Hockey is designed for players with a developmental disability.  Getting ready to begin its third season, new, interested players should contact Program Director Debbie McQuilkin at or call 203-966-9851.
