Sled hockey is played mainly by people with various lower extremity disabilities (e.g. people with amputations, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, post polio, etc.). The players are seated on sleds, which are affixed to 2 hockey skate blades under the seat. Find out about more the sport here.

Sledge hockey, as its known outside the U.S., made its way to the States in the late-1980s and has been a fixture on the Paralympic scene since 1994. The players registered with the U.S. Sled Hockey Association are just like all hockey players who don gear and take the ice, with a few exceptions.
