About the Sled Hockey
Ice Sledge (Sled in the US) Hockey is the Paralympic version of Ice Hockey. Since its debut on the Paralympic Program at the Lillehammer 1994 Winter Paralympics, it has quickly become one of the largest attractions for spectators at the Winter Paralympics. It is fast-paced, highly physical and played by male athletes with a physical disability in the lower part of the body. In 2006, Ice Sledge (Sled) Hockey is practiced by athletes in 12 countries and is governed by the IPC with co-ordination by the IPC Ice Hockey Technical Committee. It follows the rules of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) with modifications. Instead of skates, players use two-blade sledges that allow the puck to pass beneath. Players use two sticks, which have a spike-end for pushing and a blade-end for shooting.

Program Introduction
RISE is proud to announce collaboration with Second Chance Sports, Inc. (SCS), the Dallas Sled Hawks to start this new program and manage this exciting sport played on ice. James Dunham, President SCS, asked RISE to get involved to bring this sport to a higher level and to make it accessible to more physically challenged individuals.
