SLEDGE HOCKEY (PARA-ICE HOCKEY) COACHING

Para Ice Hockey Coaching Resource

SportAbility’s open access Para-Ice Hockey guide is to empower sledge hockey coaches, facilitators, and athletes with general information, along with a set of individual skills based drills, and team/program based drills that can be modified and used to deliver Para Ice Hockey in a fun and social environment.

The Para Ice Hockey Coaching resource is available for download here.

This initiative was made possible through funding from ViaSport and the Government of British Columbia.

Created by Staff at SportAbility

With special thanks to Women’s Para Hockey Canada coaches:
Tara Chisholm and Derek Whitson, for the major content contributions.
