Former NHL defenseman Brent Sopel has found a way to combine his love of hockey and a cause close to his heart.
Sopel, 40, and his teenage daughter, Lyla, have dyslexia, a learning disability that makes it difficult to interpret words, letters and other symbols. The 12-year League veteran, who won the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010 and last played in the NHL during the 2010-11 season, is the driving force behind Play with the Pros, a youth clinic being held Saturday at Rocket Ice Skating Rink in Bolingbrook, Illinois, in conjunction with the Brent Sopel Foundation.
