Notes

Sled hockey is a sport that allows individuals with physical disabilities to enjoy an adaptive version of traditional ice hockey, with a similar concept and rules. In sled hocky, the main difference is that instead of standing up to skate, participants sit on their skates using an adaptive device known as a sled, which is affixed with two skate blades and a runner in the front to form a tripod. Al;so, competitors use two shortened hocky sticks with a pick (similiar to the end of a figure skate)
