How a match works, in a minute

How a para ice hockey game works

  1. Para ice hockey is ice hockey for players with a lower-body impairment, who sit on sledges with two blades.
  2. Each player uses two short sticks: a pick at one end to push themselves along the ice and a blade at the other to pass and shoot.
  3. It uses the ice hockey rink and most of its rules, including face-offs and offside. A foul sends a player off for two minutes or more.
  4. The team with more goals wins. A tie goes to sudden-victory overtime, four players a side.
