The Spaulding Sledgehogs Youth Sled Hockey Program is open to youth ages 5-17 of all abilities. We offer both recreational and competitive opportunities for players. Practices consist of individual coaching, skills training, small games, and scrimmages. Practices are led by USA Hockey certified coaches to ensure age-appropriate instruction and play.
Competitive youth players participate in weekly practices, clinics, scrimmages, and regional and national tournaments.
The sport of sled hockey enables individuals to play hockey in a seated position with blades beneath them. Players propel themselves by using sticks with pricks on the end, or with the assistance of a designated pusher.
