An adaptive dance program is a creative movement or dance program, which has been tailored to best meet the individual needs of children who are confronting various challenges. It works to create an open environment in which every child can participate regardless of ability, and it integrates various components that may not be seen in a traditional dance or movement program.

Sled hockey is very similar to “stand-up hockey” in terms of concept and rules. The main difference is that participants sit on a sled, which has two skate blades and a runner in the front to form a tripod. Players use two short hockey sticks with a blade on one end and a pick on the other to propel themselves across the ice. Good sportsmanship, team camaraderie and strength building are just a few benefits of playing sled hockey.
YOUTH TEAM • ADULT RECREATION TEAM • COMPETITIVE TRAVEL TEAM
Total cost per player per year is $175 in person for Junior Players ($165 online), and $275 in person for Adult Recreation and Travel Players ($265 online). This fee includes a membership to CHD’s Disability Resources which allows members access to other sports and social activities at a discount. A seperate USA Hockey registration fee through USA is $40 per player. Thanks to generous donors, sled hockey players do not need to supply their own equipment. We have a supply of sleds, helmets, pads, etc. available for team use.
FEES & EQUIPMENT
The sled hockey season is September 2018- April 2019. All teams practice once a week. The Junior and Recreation team play one or two scrimmages a year and an end of the year tournament. The Travel team is part of the New England Sled Hockey League and play 7 games throughout the season. It is required for travel team players to play in all the games and to go to most practices.
COMMITMENT
Anybody that is prevented from playing stand up hockey can play. It is a sport that equalizes the playing field by having everyone on sleds. If a participant lacks in upper body strength or control, a pusher, someone that pushes and guides the sled, can be used to propel them. We have three teams based on age and competition level.
