Para ice hockey, formerly known as sled hockey, is a thrilling and fast-paced sport designed for athletes with physical disabilities. Played on ice, competitors use specially designed sledges and two sticks for both propelling and controlling the puck. This Paralympic sport requires strength, agility, and teamwork. Originating in Sweden in the 1960s, para ice hockey has grown globally, providing athletes with a platform to showcase their skills and compete at the highest level, including the Winter Paralympic Games.
