Sledge Hockey is a variant of ice hockey and can be played on and off ice, using sledges to allow participants to move about the rink at high speeds hitting a puck travelling at speeds of up to 100kph. Players sit in adapted sledges, propelling themselves with sticks adapted to allow propulsion in a manner similar to skiing. As players are strapped to a sledge everybody has the same restrictions, regardless of whether or not the player has a disability

Sledge Hockey the only fully inclusive contact sport in the world. Although at Paralympic level players need to be classified disabled to participate, at club level anyone can play. Unlike sports such as Wheelchair Basketball, Wheelchair Rugby and Sitting Volleyball there is no classification system dictating who can participate in play at any point . All players are equal once strapped to a sledge and there are no rules governing who can be involved in play.
