Amputee Hockey |
|
Sledge Hockey or "sled hockey" as it is often now referred to, has been played in Canada and the United States for well over several decades now. Players, who have physical disabilities, sit in sleds with two blades on the bottom and propel themselves across the ice with two short hockey sticks with ice picks on the bottom. Full hockey protective gear is worn as the rules of contact are the same. |
The goal of Special Hockey is to give people with physical and Developmental Disabilities the chance to play the sport of Ice Hockey in an environment which is adapted to the level of ability which the athletes are able to participate.
|
Amputee Hockey is identical to typical amateur ice hockey, with the notable exception that the athletes are missing one or more of their upper or lower extremities. Competing with other amputees helps to increase self-esteem through participation in a fast-paced, exciting sport on a "level playing field", the hockey rink. Our motto "put your disability on ice" is designed to inspire amputees and other athletes to look beyond impairment and disability toward participation and improved performance in a competitive team sport. |
