Description
["Sled hockey follows most of the typical ice hockey rules with the exception of some of the equipment. 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 the sticks have metal pics on the butt end for players to propel themselves. GLASA provides all hockey gear (pads, jersey, socks, gloves, helmet, guards) and equipment (sled and sticks) needed to play. Assistants are available to support athletes who may not be able to self-propel on the ice. \nYouth, Teen & Adult (Ages 7+)\nWheelchair & Ambulatory \nRec team practices on Sundays 3:00-3:45pm", " Competitive team practices on Sundays 3:45-5:00pm"]
