It is an invasion sport played using specially designed power wheelchairs and a hockey ball. Power Hockey is played predominantly by power wheelchair users similarly to Power Football, which most Power Hockey participants also play.

It is a fun sport that any disabled person can participate in over the age of 8 years old. Besides the fun, Power Hockey helps improve the mental and physical health of power wheelchair users and subsequently raises the awareness of the benefits to participants. The aspect of playing on a competitive level is something that ceases to exist within mainstream society for power wheelchair users. The skills acquired from playing Power Hockey competitively can be deferred to key life skills which include teamwork, leadership and communication.
