sledge hockey

Seated ice competition

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

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

The sport follows standard hockey rules and is a Paralympic event.

Also called sled hockey in the United States.
