WINTER SPORTS
Floor Curling
Floor Curling is adapted from the version played on ice. Players use pushers or ramps to launch their stones across the floor, aiming for the targets on the other side. The goal is to get your stones as close to the centre ring as possible. In this game we encourage being social but you are only in competition with yourself if you choose!

Rylie's Impact Story
Rylie DeWolfe is a beautiful, feisty 5-year-old girl in her rookie season with the Hamilton Challenger Sports Association. She is nonverbal, autistic, and has a genetic disorder called Angelman Syndrome.
Life is not always easy, but Rylie always makes the best of it, and her happy demeanour shines through.
HCSA and Jays Care have given the opportunity for Rylie to thrive this summer. It is physical, occupational and play therapy all rolled into one. She gets so excited to go every week and see everyone. She LOVES to hit the ball and run the bases. Most important is the friendships we are both making. Making friends isn’t always easy when you’re a little different or communicate in a different way. She has friends here. I have friends here. Her best baseball buddy, Max, is always excited to see her and play with her. His parents even negotiated a last-minute trade so they could be on the same team together!
Thank you, Jays Care and HCSA, for all you do for Rylie and others like her. Your support means more than words can say.
