“My students were engaged and mesmerized!”

As a Principal of an upper elementary school in New Era, Michigan I love the message Hockey Todd presents in both his book and assembly.  The positive message Hockey Todd gives about never giving up, even when it is difficult, is an inspiration to both children and adults.   We will be using the message Hockey Todd brought during his assembly to positively impact our school for weeks to come. Thank you Hockey Todd for being an inspiration to all!

Beth Pranger

Principal, New Era Elementary

 His over lying message of “Free Your Superhero” struck a chord with all the students. His interaction with our elementary students focused on promoting inclusion and equality.  The Adventures of Hockey Todd makes a solid connection with readers of all ages and highlighted the components of motivation, problem solving, technology, the cohesiveness of building positive relationships and finding out that being “different” may actually set us apart in a good way.

He had group discussions about overcoming challenges, pursuing dreams, bullying and equality. In addition, he also played and sang his original song “Free Your SuperHero” with students. It was a fantastic way to kick off Reading Month. Todd Pasick’s book, “The Adventures of Hockey Todd” taught students to pursue their dreams and not let obstacles get in their way. The message that resonated with our students from him is one that our students need to know… that “anything is possible."

TODD's Story

Empowerment Through Overcoming Adversity

At a very young age, Todd faced a major challenge when he lost his right arm. This physical disability affected how he was perceived and treated by others. However, he refused to let this adversity define him or limit his potential. Through trial and error, Todd developed the skills needed to overcome obstacles and pursue his dreams.

With a never-give-up attitude, Todd excelled in sports, winning a world silver medal in hockey and playing college football. He also became a board-certified occupational therapist, author, accomplished musician, and singer/songwriter. Despite facing challenges that may have seemed insurmountable, Todd's determination allowed him to redefine the labels placed on him by his peers and coaches.

Todd's experiences in life taught him valuable lessons that he wanted to share with others. His book, "The Adventures of Hockey Todd," inspires children to pursue their passions and overcome adversity. The relatable story encourages readers to establish dream pathways, instills confidence, promotes self-esteem, anti-bullying, equality, inclusion, encouragement, teamwork, and the concept of role models.

Todd's accomplishments and life journey are a testament to the power of perseverance and the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity. His story is an inspiration to all who face challenges and are determined to succeed.

"God Knows"

Hockey Todd's Latest Single

At age 11, Todd's father took him to a music store to buy a guitar. The salesman said Todd couldn't play with one hand, so they started to leave. However, Todd spotted a four-string bass guitar and realized he could play it with his five fingers. His father bought the bass, and Todd started playing it with an ink pen taped to his nub. He later taught himself to play the piano and guitar, becoming the inspiring singer/songwriter known as 1armtodd.
