Which sport uses sledges for mobility alongside sticks for play?

Sledge hockey, also known as sled hockey, is a unique sport designed for athletes with physical disabilities, particularly those affecting their lower limbs. This sport utilizes sledges, which are specialized, low-profile sleds equipped with skate blades. Participants use two sticks, each with a blade on one end and a rubberized grip on the other. The design of the sleds allows athletes to propel themselves across the ice while also employing their upper body strength to handle the sticks and play the game, similar to ice hockey.

In contrast, wheelchair basketball is played in specialized wheelchairs; wheelchair rugby involves a combination of manual wheelchairs, but does not use sledges; and para ice skating is primarily focused on artistic or competitive skating rather than a team sport with sticks. Therefore, sledge hockey is distinct due to its combination of sledges for mobility and sticks for gameplay.
