August 26 - 28, 2022
The Womens World Sled Challenge will be held in Green Bay, WI, from August 26 - 28th at Cornerstone Community Center. This event will allow women to compete and recruit disabled female athletes and their representative countries to support female disabled athletes. Team USA, Team Canada, Team Great Britain, and a team consisting of female disabled athletes from around the world will compete as the FIRST step towards a world championship in Para Ice Hockey (AKA sled/sledge hockey) and eventually a spot in a future Paralympics game. Men's Para Ice Hockey has been recognized as a Para Sport for years, but Women have not yet, due to limited National Teams. The Challenge will undoubtedly highlight that "Hockey is for Everybody."
