## Resource

Bill Tobias just won the U.S. Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award — a huge honor recognizing his life-changing work through the Central Park North Stars, a hockey program for kids and adults with disabilities. Since 2014, his team has built a joyful, inclusive space where teamwork and connection thrive, drawing families back year after year. The award, named after NHL trailblazer Willie O’Ree, celebrates perseverance and inclusion — values Tobias embodies every day. He’ll donate his $30,000 prize to charity, while finalists Steven Thompson and Kendal Troutman each received $10,000. This win shines a spotlight on the real heroes off the ice — proving hockey’s power to transform lives far beyond the rink. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
