I am always looking for deaf athletes in your sport - are there any? If so, could you share the information with me? Thank you very much. Barry Strassler Sports Editor Silent News [log in to unmask] Every June, former Blackhawk and Hall of Famer, Stan Mikita runs a hockey school for the hearing impaired, in Chicago. More than 300 hockey players of all ages attend. The camp is sponsored by the American Hearing Impaired Hockey Assoc. (AHIHA). Scholarships are awarded to those players who need financial aid. Stan is assisted by numerous current and former NHL players as well as Gene Ubriaco, head coach of the Chicago Wolves (IHL) and Jeff Sauer, head coach of the Univ. Of Wisconsin. AHIHA is located at 1143 W. Lake Street, Chicago, IL. 60607 (312) 226-5880. I believe that the tryouts for the U.S. Hearing Impaired National Team were conducted by AHIHA. I also believe that Jim Kite of the San Jose Sharks, runs a similar camp for the hearing impaired in Canada.
