Disabled Hockey Programs
Sled hockey program
Sled hockey (or also known as sledge hockey in Canada and Europe) is an adapted version of ice hockey for athletes whose disability may inhibit them from playing stand-up hockey. Able-bodied players are also welcome to participate in the sport as well. Players will sit in an individually designed sled that is fastened to two rails on two adjustable in width skate blades with a strap around their waist to secure them to the bucket.
We welcome players of all abilities and ages. Whether you are a seasoned vet participating in all games and practices, or you're just starting off with only practices, we have a spot for you. You must provide your own equipment in order to participate. However, first-time sled players may loan a sled from the program for their first year of participation!
