Lastly, we have a guest joining us all the way from Oxford England. Nathan Tree is a Blind Hockey player with a really cool story. He started out playing sighted hockey, and then started going blind as he got older and then he had to stop playing sighted hockey. He talks about how he found Blind Hockey, traveling around the world to play, and trying to grow the game in England.
