Sledges in SChools 

Sledge Hockey is an innovative sport that incorporates the same rules and discipline structure of stand-up ice hockey. Sledge hockey players sit on specially designed sleds with skate blades under the seat and use two sticks not only to pass, stick handle and shoot the puck, but also to propel and maneuver their sledges down the ice. Although originally designed for people with a physical disability, sledge hockey is now played as an inclusive sport. It is available to any individual, with or without a disability, who is interested in playing. 

The main goal of our Sledges in Schools (SIS) program is to promote inclusion and try something new! This programs is available in Edmonton and Northern Alberta. 

SIS provides equipment for individuals or groups of all abilities. We provide background information on the history, the equipment, rules and strategies of sledge hockey. Students get the opportunity to try sledge hockey first hand, as they hop into a sledge and are lead through drills and games and finally into a scrimmage.
