Sport Council: Organized Sports

First Exposure Dept: Torin is autistic and Rylan is still young. And they worried hockey might be too expensive and time consuming. Both parents played soccer as kids, and thought it might be a good first exposure to team sports, according to Calgary Herald. "The coaches have been great with him, running up and down the field with him," she said of Torin. And for Rylan? "He really enjoys it and I think for him it's something he'll carry through for a number of years." When Lia Lousier and husband Michael Hicks decided to start their two boys Torin, 6, and Rylan, 4, in organized sports, they considered hockey, but hesitated. Nobody batted an eye at signing both boys up. Today, Torin is playing alongside his brother on the roster of the under-six Orange Tigers in the community league run by McKnight Sport Council. As reported in the news.
