By teaming up with local partners and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the city of Kyle is aiming to make a 10-year-old boy’s dream come true and build a public roller hockey rink in Kyle.
Ash Crane lives in Kyle and is described by his mother, Lisa, as a happy, easygoing and generous 10-year-old. Ash’s favorite thing to do is to play hockey. Growing up in Colorado, he had plenty of opportunities to surround himself with the sport.
Before Ash was born, Lisa and her husband, Stephen, learned he would have a congenital heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which affects the flow of blood. Since he was born, Ash has undergone three open heart surgeries. After one of them, Lisa said he asked nurses if he could roller skate around the hospital instead of walk.
