Champions Committed to KIDS partners Kickapoo sophomore with MSU hockey team

“This is the best thing that has happened to me.”

Dimitry Robertson has only been with the Missouri State Ice Bears for half a season, but he says he could not enjoy it more.

Robertson, a sophomore at Kickapoo High School in Springfield, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a young age. He had trouble fitting in until the Springfield-based organization Champions Committed to KIDS connected him with the Ice Bears.

Champions Committed to KIDS connects children who have medical conditions and disabilities with athletic teams at both the high school and college level in Southwest Missouri.
