U.S. EWHA News Release 2-8-99

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Chicago Wheelchair Wolves are hosting a wheelchair hockey tournament on March 13 & 14, 1999.  Last year, this tournament was for manual wheelchair hockey players.

Recently the Wheelchair Wolves contacted the U.S. EWHA with the idea of having a division strictly for electric (power) wheelchair hockey players. The U.S. EWHA will work with the Chicago organizers to develop the electric (power) wheelchair division, in regards to rules and finding more teams to participate.

We are very excited to be a part of the 1999 Role Model Cup. The tournament will consist of a manual wheelchair tournament and an electric (power) wheelchair tournament.

We do realize March is next month, but if anyone is within driving distance of Chicago and would like to participate or come to watch the tournament, please contact the U.S. EWHA.  hockey@usewha.org
