Save the Date, Mark Your Calendars and get ready for one of the most fun Para Ice Hockey events of the season! The 2026 Para Ice Hockey Provincials run March 14-15 at the North Surrey Sport and Ice Complex

The weekend will include a mix of skills, drills and of course games! This event is designed to be inclusive and fun for players of all ages and skill levels, with teams mixed to create great competition and lots of ice time.

As a special bonus, this weekend also marks the final weekend of para hockey at the Paralympics. We’re hoping to watch the gold medal game together on Sunday morning before heading onto the ice ourselves!

SportAbility programs and events wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our volunteers! We’re shining the spotlight on a few of the phenomenal people helping our programs and athletes succeed starting with Jonah, a UBC student who’s become a fixture at many of our programs and events in the Vancouver area including Para Ice Hockey and Boccia.

Jonah has enjoyed having the opportunity to meet so many new and enthusiastic people through Sportability and encourages others to get involved as a way to learn and grow through sport.

“Every program within Sportability has offered me the chance to broaden my perspective and build relationships with super friendly folks. This more than anything has made my time with SportAbility extra meaningful.”

His advice to others looking to start volunteering with us is simple: show up and be kind!

“The best thing you can do is show up with a friendly attitude, an eagerness to learn, and a desire to push outside of your comfort zone. The fine people involved with Sportability will support you the whole way.”

Interested in learning more about volunteering with SportAbility? Email Lauren at ltham@sportabilitybc.ca to find get involved this winter.
