Special hockey programs have been established in more than 40 cities in the United States and many more internationally. The goal of special hockey is to give people with physical and developmental disabilities the chance to play the sport of ice hockey in an environment which is adapted to the ability level of each athlete. The MORC Stars hockey team was formed in 2007 as a partnership between Macomb-Oakland Regional Center (MORC) and former professional hockey player Peter Ciavaglia. Ciavaglia, who played for the Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Vipers, and the 1994 US Olympic Team, decided it was time to use his hockey talent to assist people with disabilities.
