The Hockey Association for the Developmentally Challenged (HADC) Gladiators Hockey Club was established in 1995 to give developmentally challenged individuals the opportunity to play hockey in a structured program and learning environment.  Since then, our families, coaches and volunteers have been working together to make the Canadian dream of playing hockey a reality for our challenged athletes.

All our players have a disability; nevertheless, it is not their disability that is our focus, but their ability, their enthusiasm and their desire to succeed.  Our program is geared to individual needs, without age, ability or gender restrictions.

We believe that all individuals have the right to play sports, and in particular, hockey.
