As a wheelchair user, choices of sports to participate in have always been somewhat limited for me. One sport I loved playing as a teenager was wheelchair hockey. It was fast and exciting.
Wheelchair hockey is a wildly exciting and inclusive sport that has grown in popularity over recent years. It is a game where players roll around on their wheelchairs and use specially designed sticks to manoeuvre the puck.
The game combines elements of ice hockey, basketball, and soccer into an incredibly fast-paced and thrilling competition. What makes this sport particularly unique is that it welcomes players with all physical abilities, making it a great way for disabled individuals to engage in an active sporting community.
Wheelchair hockey teams can be found around the world, competing at local tournaments or taking part in international competitions. So whether you’re an experienced player or someone who’s never even held a stick before, wheelchair hockey has something to offer everyone who loves sports!
