sledge hockey

Ice hockey for people with a physical disability. Has the same rules as ice hockey, but with some changes. Each player uses a sledge with two skates underneath it. They move forward on the ice using two short hockey sticks with sharp metal teeth at one end and a blade on the other. Many players are disables because they has amputated one or both of their legs, while others play because they are paralyzed.
