Niverville Nighthawks Advance to Centennial Cup Final!

In only their fourth season of existence, the Niverville Nighthawks have punched their ticket to the Centennial Cup final to be played on Sunday against the winner of the other semifinal between Longueuil and host team Summerside. After giving up the game's first three goals, the Nighthawks stormed back to beat the Toronto Patriots 4-3. They are the only undefeated team in the tournament.

Playing in the final is a rare situation for a MJHL team as the league has claimed the Centennial Cup, emblematic of junior 'A' hockey supremacy, on only three previous occasions, in 1973, 1974 and 2015. Will Niverville pull it off for a fourth time? We will find out in Sunday's championship final, Sunday at 5 pm on TSN!

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with dyspraxic kids in all abilities/accessible sports programs?

By way of background, I had my daughter in ice hockey where she learned to skate, but she struggled immensely with gameplay to the point that by the time she turned 9, her increasingly competitive teammates were effectively playing around her. She was on the ice but not really able to engage with the game in any meaningful sense. So I pulled her out after that season. Her diagnosis came about a year later.

My daughter misses being part of a team, and I would still like her to pursue some physical activities in addition to the dance programs that she currently engages in. I have noted various all abilities/accessible sports programs in my area. There is an all abilities soccer program in particular that I was thinking of signing her up for.

On that note, I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with these types of programs for dyspraxic kids? The reason I ask is because these kinds of programs at first glance seem focused on needs other than hers (e.g., kids in wheelchairs, kids with intellectual disabilities). I'd be curious to know about experiences, good and bad, with this type of thing.
