Coulee Region “Frost” Sled Hockey was started in 2016. A group of 14 players started the first adaptive team sport for individuals with physical disabilities in the Coulee Region. They were the impetus for the development of the Sports, Therapeutic, and Adaptive Recreation (STAR) Association.

Who can participate in Sled Hockey?

Anyone, youth and adult, who has a mobility challenge. This program is co-ed.

What is Sled Hockey?

Sled hockey is the Paralympic sport of hockey. Players with physical disabilities play seated in sleds. They have two modified sticks. One end of the stick has “picks” which are used to propel the players along the ice. The other end has blade similar to a traditional hockey stick. If any player is unable to propel the hockey sled because of upper body function, they may use a “pusher” to move across the ice, and then pass and shoot. The game is played with the same rules as stand up hockey. Except for a few rules regarding striking another sled in a “T-bone” manner. It is fast and exciting to play and watch.

Players without disabilities can join in the fun in recreational youth play. Adult teams can only have up to three players without disabilities. Parents and children can practice together; siblings and friends are also welcome to practice with us.
