Metro Detroit Sled Hockey

*** This is a short reporting period (April - July 2025) as we align the fiscal year with the program year *** At Metro Detroit Sled Hockey our mission is to provide the opportunity for any disabled athlete to reach their full potential on and off the ice. We value skill development, teamwork, good sportsmanship and inclusivity. Our goals include growing the sport of sled hockey, advocating for appropriate level of play for all players and removing the financial barriers to playing the sport. Our players are all ages and skill level from I just learned to skate to Paralympians. Disabled athletes have less discretionary income due to their high medical costs (prosthesis, wheelchairs, supplies) and at the same time the cost of adaptive sports equipment is 10x more than regular sports equipment. These two factors can create a large barrier to participation.
