Sled Hockey | Blaine, Minnesota | Hendrickson Foundation Tournament

In our recent visit to Blaine, Minnesota for the Hendrickson Foundation hockey tournament, we were blessed to experience blind hockey and sled hockey (or 'sledge hockey' depending on where you live). USA Hockey's website: https://www.usahockey.com/sledhockey Invented in the early 1960s at a Stockholm, Sweden rehabilitation center. Players sit in specially designed sleds that sit on top of two hockey skate blades. There are two sticks for each player instead of one and and the sticks have metal pics on the butt end for players to propel themselves. Goalies wear basically the same equipment but do make modifications to the glove. Metal picks are sewn into the backside to allow the goalie to maneuver. Sled hockey provides opportunity for many types of disabilities and there are opportunities available in local areas for recreation/competition all the way to the National Sled Team that plays in the Paralympics.
