by USA Hockey
Sled hockey is governed nationally by USA Hockey, which has overseen national sled hockey teams and recreational programmes since 2006. The sport—played on sledges fitted with two ice picks instead of skates—enables athletes with lower-body physical disabilities to compete on ice alongside wheelchair users, amputees, and others.
The USA Hockey sled hockey portal connects players to local teams and recreational leagues across the country, lists national camps and development events, explains equipment requirements, and tracks the national teams that compete at the World Para Ice Hockey Championship and Paralympic Winter Games. Separate pages cover the United States Women's Sled Hockey development programme.
Athletes of all ages with lower-body physical disabilities including spinal cord injury, spina bifida, limb difference, and amputation. Recreational leagues welcome first-time players, while competitive pathways lead all the way to the Paralympic podium.
