For the past six years, the Omaha Lancers have been honored and fortunate enough to be involved with the Papillion-LaVista Special Olympics floor hockey team. The special young men on this team are a true reminder of what sportsmanship means, how hard work can pay off in the end and why having a passion for the sport is important.

Lancers players volunteer once a week October through January by helping the team work on their hockey skills during practices. The Lancers also have fun with the Special Olympians by participating in scrimmages.

The Lancers are proud
to be a part of this special program. The team traveled in February 2009 to Boise, Idaho to participate in the Special Olympics World Games where they earned the bronze medal. They were one of six floor hockey teams from across the country that were chosen to compete.
