Sacramento Lightning Sled Hockey
Practices are Saturdays from 2-3pm. 
Dates: 11/5, 11/19, 12/3, 12/17, 1/14, 1/28, 2/11, 2/25.
Cost is $10 per player and includes sled rental.

The team is looking for beginner and new players who are interested in trying a new sport. We have several youth player that are looking for a few new friends that are interested learning how to skate and play this fun game. No experience is necessary, just a desire to have some good clean fun on the ice.

What Is Sled Hockey?
An exciting alternative sport using the rules of ice hockey. Players sit on a specially designed sled and use two short ice picks to propel themselves across the ice. Standard hockey rules apply. Legal body contact and raised puck shooting are as much a part of Sled Hockey as they are in traditional hockey.

Who Can Play?
This sport is played by both males and females, youth and adults ages 8-70. It totally integrates players with mobility limitations, amputees and able-bodied people with knee, leg or hip injuries that limit their participation in traditional hockey.

What do I need to play Sled Hockey?
Full equipment is required: shoulder pads, neck guard, elbow pads, knee pads, gloves, hockey pants, and an HECC approved helmet. We have a limited supply of loaner protective equipment. Players must sign a waiver in order to play.
