Sledge Hockey

Experience Canada’s Game in a New Way

Easter Seals NL’s Sledge Hockey Program provides a fun and supportive introduction to the sport of sledge hockey, offering participants the chance to learn the basics of the game in an inclusive environment. Designed for recreation-level athletes of all ages and abilities, with no previous experience needed, the program focuses on developing fundamental skills such as balance, pushing, turning, and stick handling while using a sledge.

Through engaging drills and guided gameplay, participants will build confidence on the ice, improve physical literacy, and experience the excitement of Canada’s game in a fully accessible format. During each session, there are skills and drills which focus on participant goals. The session may be divided into smaller groups depending on the skill level and interest of the player. During each session, the athlete will receive on-ice coaching, volunteer assistance and skill-building drills, making this an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in trying sledge hockey.

Each participant is provided with a sledge, sticks, and a jersey to use throughout the season, ensuring equal access to the game. Athletes are not required to wear full protective equipment, but may do so if they choose. Participants should come dressed for cooler temperatures and must bring their own helmet. 

Whether participants are looking to stay active, explore adaptive sport, or work toward competitive play, this program ensures a welcoming space where everyone can succeed.

  • Stories of Success

“When my son was younger he and his friends used to play all the time. As his friends grew up they started to play stand-up sports and he began to feel left out. This all changed when he found Easter Seals. Here he feels included with life-long friends. I can’t describe the pride I feel when I see him laughing at wheelchair basketball.”
