Calgary Sledge Hockey Association

Location: Calgary

The Calgary Sledge Hockey Association (CSHA) is committed to fostering inclusion, resilience, and community through the power of sport. We provide adaptive hockey programming for individuals of all ages and abilities, creating accessible opportunities for physical activity, skill development, and social connection. Our organization supports over 100 athletes each season and hosts the largest minor sledge hockey tournament in Western Canada, welcoming 30 teams and over 350 athletes from across North America. The barriers we address are both physical and systemic. Individuals with disabilities often face limited access to affordable recreation, inclusive environments, and opportunities to participate in organized sport. Many also experience social isolation, stigma, and financial challenges related to adaptive equipment and transportation. CSHA removes these barriers by subsidizing registration fees, supplying specialized equipment at no cost, and operating out of fully accessible facilities. Our "Try-It" events invite newcomers to experience the sport in a welcoming, low-pressure environment with coaching and peer support. Beyond physical wellbeing, our programs promote confidence, independence, and a strong sense of belonging. Athletes are encouraged to progress both on and off the ice, gaining life skills, building friendships, and contributing to a supportive and inclusive community. Through our work, CSHA aspires not just to grow the sport of sledge hockey—but to reshape what participation, possibility, and success can look like for athletes of all abilities.
