OFFICIATING GUIDELINES

| The purpose of this document is to provide an introduction for existing able-bodied hockey officials to
the sport of sledge hockey. Essentially, sledge hockey is the same as able-bodied hockey. However, there are
some obvious differences as well as subtle differences in the way the game is played and officiated, and
officials should take note of these when becoming involved in the sport. This is not a comprehensive manual –
it is intended to serve as a guideline for officials who are interested in making the transition to sledge
hockey from the able-bodied side of the game. » Download PDF |
