Minnesota Special Hockey is excited for the opportunity to partner with Eva Erickson, a contestant on the upcoming Season 48 of CBS's Survivor!
Eva is 24 years old and from Eagan. She was diagnosed with autism when she was one year old. Eva is an avid hockey player and believes that starting hockey at age 6 helped her autism therapy immensely. Eva eventually became the first and only woman ever to play on Georgia Tech's Men's Hockey team! Eva is excited to share her autism story while on Survivor.
Eva is selling her own Survivor-based merch ("Fiji Hockey Club") and will generously be donating $5 from every item sold to Minnesota Special Hockey. Her passion is hockey and she wants to use her platform from Survivor to help give the gift of hockey to kids like her.
Show support for Eva, catch her every week on CBS' Survivor Season 48 beginning February 26th.
