The USA Hockey Blind Classic is an annual event celebrating the Blind Hockey discipline. Blind Hockey is the same exhilarating, fast-paced sport as Ice Hockey with only one main difference – all of the players are legally blind. Players must be classified as eligible in one of the three International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) classifications.

The 2024 USA Hockey Blind Classic was held November 15-17, 2024, at the Super Rink in Blaine, Minnesota.

At the 2015 USA Hockey Disabled Hockey Festival, in Buffalo, N.Y., blind hockey was introduced to the rest of the Disabled Hockey Community.
