sled hockey

Seated ice game

Sled hockey is a form of ice hockey adapted for players with lower-body disabilities.

Players sit in sleds mounted on skate blades and use two short sticks—one end for pushing across the ice, the other for handling the puck.

The sport follows standard hockey rules and is a Paralympic event: The US sled hockey team won gold.
