Identification of Best Practices for Coach in Special Needs Hockey [poster]

Description

By Karlene Lloyd, Date of Project Submission: April 2015., Completed for: Kawartha Komets Special Needs Hockey Program; Supervising Professor: Sharon Beaucage-Johnson; Trent Community Research Centre, FRSC4890 -, Individuals with a disability are unable to compete in mainstream hockey like the rest of their peers because of their disabilities, which can emphasize feelings of social isolation. Future recommendations to further this research include conducting more interviews in regards to coaching special needs hockey and looking at best practices for refereeing. The results from the research will be used towards creating a coaching manual for special needs hockey and will be shared amongst the special needs hockey community.
