Blind Hockey is real, full-speed ice hockey, played with a puck you can hear. Canadian Blind Hockey runs Try It sessions, development camps, and regional and national competitions for athletes who are blind or partially sighted — from a first skate to Team Canada.
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.
Free and low-cost sessions for children, youth, and adults trying blind hockey for the first time — equipment and on-ice guides included.
Regional series and the National Blind Hockey Tournament, with divisions from children to open and development pathways toward international play.
Adapted equipment, trained volunteers, and a coast-to-coast community of players, families, and coaches who know the game is for everyone.
Canadian Blind Hockey works to ensure that every Canadian who is blind or partially sighted has the opportunity to participate in the Para sport of Blind Hockey — from the pond to the podium.
Our vision: world leaders in Blind Hockey.
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.
When I was about two years old, I got diagnosed with glaucoma and went completely blind at the age of four.
I’ve been blind my entire life, so blindness has never been something I “adjusted” to, it’s all I’ve ever known.
Program dates, tournaments, and stories from across the country — a few emails a season, no spam.
