HALIFAX, NS August 19, 2014
Ryan Shay is a former South Shore Mustang whose life took a drastic change in 2013 after a car accident resulted in paralysis. Like most hard-nosed hockey players, Shay’s fighting spirit now has his site set on the 2016 Paralympics in Brazil.
The profits from the preseason home games will go towards the $6000 price tag to purchase a custom built racing chair.
You can read more about Ryan’s story from a recent article in the Chronicle Herald.
