IPC Sledhockey Program.Pdf WELCOME Dear Friends in Hockey, On behalf of USA Hockey, we are pleased to welcome you to HARBORCENTER for the 2015 International Paralympic Committee Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships. Since its debut on the world stage, sled hockey has quickly become one of the most exciting and competitive sporting events and this year’s championship promises to be the best yet. The participating athletes are both talented players and tremendous Ron DeGregorio President ambassadors whose popularity and recognition continue to grow. Their contributions go well beyond the rink and have a deep and lasting impact, providing an example of what can be accomplished with dedication and enthusiasm for the game. In addition to the players, we also extend a special greeting to the coaches and staff from each of the participating nations and wish them the best of luck in their pursuit of a gold medal. Our thanks to the IPC, the local organizing committee, the staff at HARBORCENTER, those serving as volunteers, the media, the fans and all Dave Ogrean Executive Director involved in helping make this championship a success. We’re pleased to host this event and we look forward to a tremendous championship over the course of the next week. We know you’ll enjoy Buffalo and the wonderful hospitality of the people of Western New York. Ron DeGregorio Dave Ogrean President Executive Director Welcome to the city of Buffalo and the impressive HARBORCENTER for the 2015 IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships A-Pool. I am delighted that we are back in the USA for a third world championships, and I am confident that this edition will form a memorable part of the tangible legacy of the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games. Just over one year ago, the USA collected gold in an exciting conclusion to the Games, watched by a huge global television audience and in front of a Sir Philip Craven MBE IPC President sell-out crowd. It was a watershed moment in the sport’s history. Buffalo 2015 will build on this success, bringing ice sledge hockey directly to you, some of its most passionate and engaged fans, at an incredibly important time and ahead of PyeongChang 2018. As we move into the next seasons we will further develop the sport and build the competition calendar, making it easier to follow outside of major international competitions. In the meantime I would like to thank you, USA Hockey, the HARBORCENTER, the City of Buffalo, the Buffalo Sabres, NBC for their national online and live coverage, and all of the event partners for their support of this incredible game. I hope you enjoy watching all eight national teams over the coming days as the tournament, and the amazing talents of the athletes, unfold. Sir Philip Craven MBE IPC President ABOUT THE COMPETITION The 2015 IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships A-Pool marks the eighth edition of the event. Taking place in Buffalo, New York, this is the third time the United States has hosted the tournament, including Salt Lake City, Utah (2000) and Marlborough, Massachusetts (2008). The IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships A-Pool features eight of the world’s best sled hockey teams. Group A consists of the defending champions Canada, Czech Republic, Japan and Norway. The U.S. will face Germany, Italy, and Russia and in Group B. Each team will play three preliminary-round contests and the tournament will culminate with the bronze-medal and gold-medal games on Sunday, May 3. The bottom two finishers from the A-Pool event will be relegated to the B-Pool for the 2017 edition of the event, and the top two finishers from the B-Pool will be promoted to the A-Pool for 2017. HISTORY OF SLEDGE HOCKEY A direct descendant of ice hockey, ice sledge hockey was invented at a rehabilitation center in Stockholm, Sweden, during the early 1960s by a group of Swedes who, despite their physical impairment, wanted to continue playing hockey. The sport caught on, and by 1969, Stockholm had a five-team league that included players with a physical impairment and able-bodied players. That same year, Stockholm hosted the first international ice sledge hockey match between a local club team and one from Oslo, Norway. During the 1970’s, teams from these two countries played once or twice a year. Several other countries began to establish teams, including Great Britain (1981), Canada (1982), USA (1990), Estonia and Japan (1993). Ice sledge hockey was demonstrated at the 1976 Paralympic Winter Games in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden, and again at the 1988 Paralympic Winter Games in Innsbruck, Austria, before becoming an official Paralympic event at the 1994 Paralympic Winter Games in Lillehammer, Norway. Since its debut on the Paralympic stage, the sport has quickly become one of the largest attractions for spectators. Two years after its Paralympic debut, the first sanctioned IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships took place in Nynashamn, Sweden. Other international competitions have since been implemented, including the IPC Ice Sledge Hockey European Championships (2005) and the World Sled Hockey Challenge (2007). Today, the sport is governed by the International Paralympic Committee with coordination by the IPC Ice Hockey Technical Committee and follows the rules of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) with modifications. Instead of skates, players use double-blade sleds that allow the puck to pass underneath. Players use two sticks, which have a spike-end for pushing and a blade-end for shooting. Goalies wear essentially the same equipment but do have metal picks added to the heel of their stick and also sewn into the backside of their glove to allow the goalie to maneuver.
