The Rye Varsity and Modified Hockey Teams did the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at noon at Glen Island Park in New Rochelle.
Coach Peter Thomas said this about the event “I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to each and every one of you. When it was all said and done, we raised right around $10,000 for Special Olympics! It was definitely a challenge braving the icy waters, but that challenge was insignificant compared to the challenges faced by the Special Olympics athletes and their families each and every day. I am so proud of all the players and their willingness to put all their efforts into such a good cause. It is a positive statement about them, their families, and the community. I am so grateful to live in and teach in such a wonderful community that is always willing to pitch in for a worthy cause. Furthermore, I am so humbled and grateful to be coaching a group of outstanding young adults! I know that as long as we put forth the same effort on the ice that we did for this cause, we will be hoisting a Sectional Championship this season!”
There is still time to be a part of this special event…
