What we do

Canadian Blind Hockey is a national charitable organization dedicated to making hockey accessible to people who are blind or partially sighted. We develop and deliver inclusive hockey programs, learn-to-skate opportunities, community events, tournaments, camps, and high-performance pathways for players of all ages and skill levels across Canada.

From introducing a child to the ice for the very first time to supporting athletes on their journey from the pond to the podium, we create opportunities for participants to build skating and hockey skills, confidence, independence, friendships, and a lifelong connection to the game.

Through strong partnerships, dedicated volunteers, and communities across the country, Canadian Blind Hockey is changing what is possible in hockey and helping ensure that everyone has the opportunity to play the game we all know and love.

Blind Hockey Spotlight - Ruby Gencarelli

Ruby was born with aniridia. "That means I have no iris," she explains. "My vision is blurry and I can't see detailed things." On the ice, the blind hockey puck makes the difference.

Joe Fornasier - Blind Hockey Spotlight

For a while, I was just mad at my disability. I was mad at the situation, mad at the game, and maybe even mad at myself for not knowing where I fit anymore. My first Blind Hockey skate surpassed every expectation we had. I learned I could find the puck on my stick by listening. More than that, I walked into a real hockey community again.
