A comment about sled hockey, which is now officially para ice hockey: World Para Ice Hockey is moving towards holding an official Women’s World Championship. They’re currently at the stage of running a Women’s World Challenge, with 4 teams (including a Team World, for athletes from countries that don’t yet have a national team). The first World Challenge was in 2022. They still need a few more national teams before a true world championship (rather than a world challenge) can become official, and I’m hopeful that soon, it’ll happen.
On a related note, I’d encourage anyone who has the opportunity to try out a hockey sled, whether you play stand-up hockey or use a wheelchair or other mobility device to get around. It’s a mental and physical challenge unlike anything else. As the saying goes, hockey is for everyone!
