Sled Hockey

Ice sled (sledge) hockey was invented at a Stockholm, Sweden rehabilitation center in the early 1960s by a group of Swedes who, despite their physical impairment, wanted to continue playing hockey.

Sledge hockey, as it's known outside the U.S., made its way to the States in the late-1980s and has been a fixture on the Paralympic scene since 1994.

The players who are registered with USA Hockey are just like all hockey players who don gear and take the ice, with a few exceptions.
