Canadian Sledge Hockey Team

[EdTheBadass]

dude... we should totally make this a sport for fully abled people too.

Looks cool.

[sb003848]

@EdTheBadass Able body people can play this game (just not at the international level... I have many friends (no disbility) who play sledge hockey with us every week!!!

[dafinalone]

It looks ridiculously hard to be a goalie for sledge hockey...

[LEV1ATHYN]

AWESOME!

[pothunter]

great video, go canada!

[loperspest]

While not as fast paced as hockey, it still looks pretty whiz bang. I got full use of my legs and I want to try it.

[amirjon]

real heroes right here in this video! god bless u, ill be coming to watch you guys in vancouver

[penguinlord992]

fucked up for the goalies

[johnh23]

It all starts this Saturday at Vancouver 2010 ! Canada is sold out tho so its USA instead at 5pm ! Will it be another hockey Gold for Canada at Vancouver ?!

[kshizzle31]

thats great (i'm not canadien either)

[snodule]

Why do they call them Canadians? They should call them Hockenadians.

[sledgehockeyblizzard]

Team USA going to hear OCanada one more time

[golfer9er]

Thats cool!!!

[bambionsteroids]

Epic video, just amazing, i play with marc dorion during our house league games, too good man, too good, cant even keep up XD

[leaf16nut]

Yet another sport we dominate...

GO CANADA GO!!

[ivantnt26]

too bad last 2 world championships we didn't see that :(

[devononfire]

I got wild goosebumps watching this.

My little brother played when we were kids.. I got into it and played for a couple years and met Jeremy, who now plays in the olympics. He's singing "O' Canada" in this video.

Congratulations to all the hard working players.. this game takes your all.

Go Canada!

[sledger25]

[puckscantpassme]

I don't mean any disrespect with this comment, but it just seems a little unfair for the goalies.

[wheelchairmaniac]

when these paralympians shoot, a lot of the time the goalies can`t see them... thats the only reason there could be any unfair play :P

[nuevakl]

Kinda agree. I dont know how difficult it is for the goalie. But watching this it feels like the goalie should be made more flexible. Change his sledge in some way.

[BELIVEING101]

go canada !!!!

[TeenGirlQuad]

there my heroes!:) YAY!

[TeenGirlQuad]

They've got way more skills than other player in the NHL, in unfair how they don't get much attention, the deserve it!

Go Canada Go!!!

xoxo

[lacrossemaster31]

you no, i could sit here all day and tell you how hard hockey is while using your legs but after seeing this, my whole perspective has changed.

these guys, playing in this sport, are true hockey players cuz they work harder in the games they play (but they also pull off some pretty wicked shots that you wouldnt see in regular ice hockey)

[jaywbe]

looks more fun to play than normal hockey

[sledger25]

sleds or sledges can cost anywhere from $600 to well over $2000 depending on who makes them and how customized they are

[DavidForce]

Lots of respect to all of this hockey players, a very challenging sport. I would like to see who win the gold for 2010 games in sledge hockey, GO CANADA GO.

[FaraoRamsesII]

Really awesome!! I hope to get a taste of that awesome sport one time!!! I' ll be moving to Ontario for a year from Holland so I hope I can try sometime!!!!!!!!!!

[hellswings]

true inspiration!

[thebow27]

Ive played with a few of those guys.. Theyre pretty cool sometimes.. Dont pass the puck enough though..

[Stig1871]

fun how norway is top 3 in sledge hockey and they sucks ass in icehockey.. but no wonder with the way it is in this country.

[Imhornydadcomeinside]

Sweden sucks at sledgehockey but is somewhat good in Icehcokey.

[mxrider74]

What do they wear on their feet for protection?

[PoliceOfficerr]

Whats the cost of one of them sleds?

Congrats Canada, way to go guys!!

[DanSvensson]

mine cost aprox. 1 559,60 USD but I got it on almost half price.. so its not a cheap sport.. but worth every penny ;)

[northernsliders]

1,000 dollars no Joke I play sledge hockey on the northern Sliders hockey team

[PoliceOfficerr]

I know what hockey equipment costs but what does one of them sleds cost?

Congrats Canada, whay to go guys!!

[sledger25]

in response to greatwhiteebola comment, there is a team in Red Deer, Alberta that runs sledge hockey. the Red Deer Rage is an adult hockey team, contact name: Amanda Booth.

[witchhat]

Just awesome! Congrats to Team Canada and all the participants for showing that no matter what you're given in life there's no reason not to reach for Gold!

[icejetsrok]

those guys are sirious athletes right there,

[greatwhiteebola]

I live in Red Deer, does anyone know who I contact to get into this? I don't have equipment or anything, however I sure would like to get involved! Thank you in advance.

[jackng]

best start with contacting hockey alberta. they can provide u with all the information. i know there are novice teams in calgary and edmonton. probably some in upper alberta like the wolverines.

im from vancouver, but from my experience with bchockey, provincial organizations can give u good info about local leagues.

good luck.

btw go nucks.

[katja150]

love it!!! i play it to... the amsterdam huskies... i love the sport!

[ElectPedro08]

probably the coolest thing I have ever seen.

[RoaR3000]

...I know it would be "best" if it were a Canadian band,BUT,Dave Grohl,And The Foo's Love Canada,And It Would Me WIKID To Ask Them To Write A Theme Song For Our Sledge Hockey Team...As if this song isnt good enough allready!;-)

[RoaR3000]

Man...Sledge hockey and Womyns hockey are SO much better than "N.H.L" hockey,and i AM still of fan of that ,of course...but people REALLY need to start supporting Sledge,and Womyn,The hockey is just completely different and ALLOT more talened and entertaining,rather than just brute forces!...

[sledge5423]

that is one awesome video, I just downloaded it and am going to put it on my PSP and Ipod. I figure everyone asks me when i tell them the sport, so now i can give them a little more than a description

[rollinon25s]

Great to watch...even better to play . Starting a sledge hockey team in Manitoba...finally. Great inspiration for our new team. Will post video soon.

[JCastle420]

this is up there with "Murderball" Men and women who have basically took a stand and made the best of a bad situation... they took at look at a disability, and flipped it off. Inspiring.

[halomonsterproductn]

[Br1tann1a]
