“Blind Hockey Battle of Alberta” goes Saturday in Red Deer
A local man’s vision for a blind hockey game in Red Deer will come true this Saturday.
Dustin Butterfield started a blind hockey team, the Central Alberta Bullseye, with other blind and visually impaired people in and around Red Deer.
Saturday afternoon at the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre they’ll take on a team made up of players from the Edmonton Seehawks and Calgary Seeing Ice Dogs in what is beind dubbed the “Blind Hockey Battle of Alberta.”
Butterfield says the game was made possible through working the Alberta Sports and Recreation Association for the Blind (ASRAB).
