Sledge Youth Hockey *
|
Ages 8 to 16 Years
Sledge Hockey is an innovative team sport that incorporates the same rules and discipline structure as ice hockey. Players sit on specially designed sleds with skate blades under the seat. Use your arms to propel yourself by digging the picks, on the ends of two short hockey sticks, into the ice, 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.
Support will be required due to existing limitations of the facility. For further details contact leisure1@eastgwillimbury.ca
Note: Sledges and sticks will NOT be provided on site. CSA approved helmets and full equipment is required.
