Northeastern University men’s hockey is welcoming a new teammate!

The Huskies held a special signing ceremony for 11-year-old Mack Welby with the help of Team IMPACT, A Boston-based nonprofit that connects children living with disabilities or illnesses with athletic teams across the country.

Mack, who is living with cerebal palsy, is now a member of the squad.

“Really excited to welcome Mack to our team, our family,” said Head Coach Jerry Keefe at the signing. “We know how much he loves the game.”

“Thank you for welcoming me to the team. I really appreciate it and I promise to not let you down,” Mack said.

Mack will attend practices, games, and other events throughout the season to grow close with the team. His parents said they are thrilled their son is able to have this opportunity.
