"Dreamer Bent On Making His Dreams Come True"
December 12, 2005

DANBURY, CONNECTICUT--The following five paragraphs are excerpts from a story in Sunday's Maine Today:

Craig Gray never did play for the Red Sox or even sign a pro baseball contract. Some years after accepting that fact, he was in a car accident that took away his ability to walk.

But not his ability to do.

He currently is player-coach of the Portland Sled Hockey Pirates, a team in the new Prudential Northeast Sled Hockey League. The league, the only one of its kind in the country, opened its season last Sunday with a round of games in Danbury, Conn.

Five years ago he hiked in his wheelchair with several other people with disabilities to a remote mountain hut in New Hampshire's White Mountains.

The Appalachian Mountain Club had built a ramp into the hut, making it accessible to wheelchairs. Bunks, bathrooms, the dining area and the kitchen were also made accessible.
