Welcome to the Ottawa Special Hockey Stars

The Ottawa Special Hockey Stars is much more than just hockey. It is about courage, self-esteem, confidence, but most importantly the fun and friendships that are being formed by all of us. The OSHS is all about growth and inclusion, integrity, honesty and respect, a template we encourage everyone to follow.

Over the years, we have had the opportunity to coach and mentor 150 of some of the most amazing people and athletes you could hope to meet. We learned quickly that the athletes were the real teachers in this journey.

As we approach our 10th season of hockey, it will for certain be challenging and unique. Safety is always our priority.

We are looking forward to our return to the ice this fall, with our two hours of scheduled ice each Saturday, at the newly renovated Blackburn Hamlet Arena.

It is always a beautiful time for hockey. The memories over the years will always be cherished. Puck drop is just around the corner.

OSHS aims to create an inclusive ice hockey program, that welcomes individuals with special needs that adapts the rules of ice hockey to encourage active participation of all individuals.  To promote positive values and life skills. I’m very proud to be a part of this journey. It’s a winner!  EVERYONE IS A STAR!
