The Ontario Sledge Hockey Association (OSHA) is the governing body for sledge hockey in Ontario. It is a registered non-profit organization, an associate member of the Ontario Hockey Federation, and a member of Hockey Canada. The OSHA represents 17 clubs in Ontario and Buffalo, NY, with 30 teams and over 450 athletes participating in league play, as well as players engaging in recreational sledge hockey.

Sledge hockey follows the same rules and structure as ice hockey, with six players on the ice, including the goalie. Players sit on a sledge consisting of a metal frame with a “bucket” (seat) mounted on top, and two regular skate blades attached under the bucket on which the player balances. Sledges may be customized for an individual athlete’s needs. Full hockey gear is worn, and players are strapped into the sledge. Players manoeuvre themselves using two specially constructed hockey sticks, which have picks on one end to allow the player to propel the sledge, and a curved blade on the other for puck handling and shooting.
