Holden Cassavoy, 11, won't mind facing off against his mom, Niki, on March 30, 2013 at Viking Arena in Hazel Park. In his three years with the annual United Cerebral Palsy Skate Without Limits fundraiser, he knows mom's no ice-hockey pushover.
Holden has forearm crutches to get around; a wheelchair for long distances. On ice, he uses an adaptive sled to play for the Michigan Sled Dogs. They're featured in a Skate Without Limits 4 p.m. exposition game, followed by the 6 p.m. UCP Pucksters against Detroit Red Wings Alumni.
This event is UCP's largest local fundraiser. In 13 years, it has raised more than $200,000.
All proceeds help people with disabilities. The Detroit Red Wings Alumni Association plays 30 games a year to benefit worthy charities.
