Power hockey is a sport that’s played in electric wheelchairs with people (who often have cerebral palsy or Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy – two life-limiting conditions) chasing after a hockey-size ball and physical contact is permitted.
People of any age play the game with their non-disabled friends, coaches and siblings and often, because disabled people use an electric wheelchair daily, they are much better players, which is a great way to boost self-esteem and confidence.
Power Hockey gives severely disabled people and those with limited mobility an opportunity to play a fast, contact sport for the first time. Players can play for fun or compete with Greenbank Power Hockey Club in the regional and national league competitions. Clubs are being developed around the country.
