Volt Hockey
The Basics
Volt hockey is a 3v3 team sport designed for people with limited upper and lower body mobility, such as those with muscular dystrophy. Combining elements of go-karting and hockey, volt hockey allows players to navigate a sturdy wiffle ball around a basketball court using specialized wooden chairs equipped with paddles. These motorized chairs can be customized to meet each playerโs needs and can reach speeds of up to 10 mph, making the game both fast-paced and exhilarating.
Competition
Volt hockey is played across the globe, mainly in Scandinavia where it originated, but also in Germany, Canada, and now in the USA! Each year, there are tournaments that players compete in, such as the Volt Hockey World Cup in Sweden, and the North American Volt Hockey Tournament in Toronto, Canada. As more teams become established across the US, we hope to hold tournaments of our own.
