The clinic, held at the Brive-la-Gaillarde ice rink, attracted participants from across the region. Experienced para hockey coaches led the sessions, providing instruction and support to players of all skill levels. The event was a resounding success, with participants praising the inclusive and supportive environment. The league is committed to promoting para hockey and providing opportunities for individuals with disabilities to participate in the sport.
Para hockey, also known as sledge hockey, is a modified version of ice hockey played by athletes with physical disabilities. Players use sledges and two sticks with picks on the end to propel themselves across the ice and handle the puck. The sport is fast-paced and exciting, requiring strength, agility, and teamwork. The league believes that para hockey is a valuable and inclusive sport that should be accessible to everyone.
The Ligue Nouvelle Aquitaine de Hockey sur Glace plans to host more para hockey clinics and events in the future. The league is also working to develop a para hockey league in the region, providing regular competition opportunities for players. The league is dedicated to fostering inclusion, well-being, and athletic performance for all members of the community. The success of the recent clinic underscores the growing interest in para hockey and the league’s commitment to supporting the sport.
