Ever seen Sledge Hockey??? Now there's a brutal sport for the
winter!!! There is a team in Ottawa, Kingston, Toronto and
Montreal. It is played by disabled person who sit in a sled with
ice skate type blade on the bottom. The sledges are propelled by
the player using sawed off hockey sticks with metal picks in them
to dig into the ice surface. The game itself is played very much
like the regular game except for the sledges. If you would like to
talk to somebody, you can contact Mr. Bill Schell in Kingston at
(613) 542-8353.

  Hope this helps. BTW They go after the puck like it was dead bait.

Bill
