The local squad, Lakeshore demolition, is set to roll in Division 2, facing off against tough competition like the ability 360 heat from Phoenix, Portland Pounders, Seattle Slam, and University of Michigan. Lakeshore supports over 4,000 people with disabilities through sports, recreation, and advocacy, pushing healthy lifestyles for everyone. Will Chair Rudby kicked off in Canada back in 1977 as an intense alternative to traditional ball games. The sport evolved from its original murder ball nickname, hit Paralympic Status in 1994, and now thrives worldwide with high energy.
