An inspiring hockey team gave their fans a huge thrill this weekend.

More than 100 people packed the Playland Ice Casino for the New York Raptors' Winter Classic Saturday. The Winter Classic is the team's biggest fundraiser of the year. "It's really nothing about winning. It's about having fun. And today is just fun, fun, fun," says player Logan Mensch.

The Raptors are part of special ice hockey program designed to bring the thrill of hockey to players of all abilities. Special hockey is a unique program open to children and adults with developmental and other disabilities who are unable or ineligible to participate in other organized hockey programs due to their disabilities.
