Sledge hockey

Sledge hockey is an innovative team sport that incorporates the same rules and discipline structure as ice hockey. Players sit on specially designed sleds with skate blades under the seat.

You have a right and a left stick (the blades are curved differently) that are miniature copies of a typical hockey stick, except for the metal picks (like figure skate toe picks) on the ends. You shoot, pass, and propel yourself with them. Come out and try this sport today! Pre-registration is required for each session you wish to attend.

Sledges and sticks will be provided on-site (limited supply of equipment available and are first come first serve). CSA-approved helmets are required but not provided.
