#FlashbackFriday - Madison and Dan!

11/9/2018

Comments

 
We’ve been doing a lot of reminiscing lately, and with hockey season in full swing, we couldn’t help but think about Madison’s friendship with Dan. ​​

About this time last year, we were able to match the hockey-loving Pittsburgher Madison with her friend and role model Dan McCoy, a Paralympic sled hockey world champion, gold medalist, and MVP! Watching their friendship blossom was really something quite special, as they bonded over their love of Pittsburgh and hockey. Dan visited Madison in the hospital where he shared stories of playing hockey with some of the Penguins and even let Madison try on his gold medal! ​​

Later, Dan invited Madison and CCChampions out to the Penguins training arena where we all got to try sled hockey! Dan provided everyone with the appropriate gear and attire and we all got to attempt to slide around the rink and pass the puck to one another, which was not easy! We are thankful for friendships like Dan and Madison’s that always bring a smile to our face and remind us how lucky we are to be able to do what we do.
