About
Since 2006, USA Hockey has served as the national governing body for all sled hockey teams representing the United States in international competition, including the Paralympic Winter Games, the World Para Ice Hockey Championship, and other elite tournaments. The sled hockey programme is committed to growing the sport from recreational leagues through to Paralympic-level competition.
What It Does
USA Hockey sled hockey provides a national club and team directory to help players find local programmes at all levels, from youth recreational leagues to elite national teams. The programme runs player development camps, coaching certification resources, and supports regional leagues across the country. The official website includes eligibility information, rule sets, and competition schedules for all levels of the sport.
Who It Helps
Sled hockey is designed for individuals with lower-limb disabilities including spinal cord injuries, amputations, and other mobility impairments who wish to play ice hockey. Programmes are available for children, teenagers, and adults, and competitive opportunities range from beginner recreational play to Paralympic-level competition.
