Don’t just take our word for it, hear what these planners had to say.
“The Florida’s Sports Commission, especially Consuelo Sanchez, and the entire Pasco County officials were a huge part of us pulling off one of the most successful USA Hockey Disabled Hockey Festivals in recent memory. Their first class welcoming approach, organizational skills and personal connection within the community made the event a giant success. USA Hockey Disabled Hockey Section hopes to continue to work with the Florida’s Sports Commission to bring more USA Hockey national and local events to Pasco County in the future.”
