Students compete in Canadian National Blind Hockey Tournament

Three BTSD students are members of the Philadelphia Blind Hockey team.

Three Bristol Township students, who are members of the Philadelphia Blind Hockey team, participated in the 2025 Canadian National Blind Hockey Tournament in Toronto on March 21-23, the largest blind hockey event to date!

The students are Daniel Rosati (6th grade at Franklin), Mason McDermott (4th grade at Keystone) and Isaac Jones (3rd grade at Brookwood), who have been playing together for a couple of years.

Blind Hockey is the same fast-paced sport as ice hockey with just one main difference – all of the players are legally blind. The main modification of this sport is the adapted puck that makes noise and is both bigger in size and heavier in weight than a traditional hockey puck. This allows the puck to slow down while sliding on the ice for those players with less vision or no vision an opportunity to track the puck.
