Description
Sledge hockey is a sitting version of ice hockey and is open to people not able to participate in the latter due to a disability. Specialist equipment is required to play the sport; players use specially designed sleds which consist of ice hockey skates bolted to a seat with an extension to support their feet. Players propel themselves over the ice with two metal sticks edged with teeth at one end and shaped into a hockey blade at the other in order to hit the puck. Ice hockey rules and regulations are applied, including those addressing body contact, necessitating protective equipment in the form of body armour and padding. Sledge hockey caters for athletes with disabilities in the lower limbs with fair to good balance. At present athletes who play the sport include those with the following disabilities: Paraplegia Spina Bifida Amputee Brittle Bone Disease Chronic Knee Pain Syndrome
