Blind Hockey

The Parasport of Blind Hockey is a variation of ice hockey for athletes of all ages who are blind or partially sighted.  It is a sport that is played in the winter, with both recreational and competitive opportunities available in Nova Scotia. 
The sport uses some modified rules and equipment compared to Ice Hockey including:
The puck is three times larger, made of metal, and makes noise.
The nets are three feet tall instead of four feet tall.
A pass is needed after passing the blue line before shooting.  A pass whistle indicates to the offensive players that they may attempt to score, and at the same time letting the defensive players and goalies know a shot may be coming.
Blind Hockey is currently offered in Halifax at the Shearwater Arena through the Nova Scotia See Kings.
