Carroll Alumni & Carroll Families Skate Your Way Day

Join Carroll Alumni and Carroll Families for an interactive skating experience for individuals of all ages who are blind or visually impaired — kids, teens, and adults alike! Whether you’ve never skated before, haven’t laced up in years, or are ready to take your skills further, this event is for you.

The Carroll Center is proud to partner with USA Hockey & MA Hockey to offer structured, fun activities led by volunteers in small groups based on skill level. No experience is needed—just bring a helmet and warm gloves, and you or your child will have everything needed to enjoy the thrill of gliding across the ice.
