EMHA teams will be able to play exhibition games against Sledge Hockey teams. All players will be equipped with sledge Edmonton minor hockey equipment and will play by sledge hockey rules. Sledge Hockey is an innovative team sport that incorporates the same rules and discipline structure as regular ice hockey. It is played mainly by people with various lower extremity disabilities (e.g. people with amputations, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, post polio, etc.). Sledge Hockey players sit on specially designed sleds with skate blades under the seat. You use your arms to propel yourself by digging the picks, on the ends of two short hockey sticks, into the ice and pulling yourself forward. You have a right and a left stick (the blades are curved differently) that are miniature copies of a typical hockey stick, except for the metal picks (like figure skate toe picks) on the ends. You shoot, pass, and propel yourself with them.
