The Cincinnati IceBreakers with Frank Yantek

FEG Insight Bridge

This extra-special episode of the FEG Insight Bridge highlights the Cincinnati IceBreakers, an adaptive sled hockey team that offers individuals with physical disabilities the chance to compete in organized sports. Greg is joined by Frank Yantek, one of the founding members of the organization, and the two discuss the current status of the club, which members are playing for the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team, and why access to organized sports is so important—especially for those who might not otherwise get the chance to play. Make sure you tune in for this heart-warming episode!
