Who We Are

Hockey Built Around Every Athlete

The East Coast Jumbos is a nonprofit athletic organization dedicated to creating positive athletic and social experiences for athletes with autism and other developmental disabilities.

What began with five players in 2007 has grown into a community of more than 75 athletes, ranging from young players through adulthood.

Every athlete is encouraged to grow at their own pace, build confidence, strengthen communication skills, develop friendships, and discover what they are capable of both on and off the ice.

Jumbos Highlights

The Best Moments Go Beyond the Scoreboard

Games matter. Practices matter. But some of the most important Jumbos moments happen between shifts, on the bench, in the locker room, during road trips, and through friendships built over seasons together.

The Jumbos are about becoming part of something bigger than hockey.
