The Wheelchair Hockey League

The WCHL is Michigan's only adaptive wheelchair floor hockey league. The purpose of this league is to provide an opportunity to persons in wheelchairs to play in a competitive hockey league, along with the chance to engage in the camaraderie and excitement of the sport. The WCHL currently has 30 players, divided into three teams. Players are both male and female, range in age from 10 to 60+, and have a variety of disabilities that include Muscular Dystrophy, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Arthrogryposis & Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bones).
Our games are played 4 on 4 with goalies. Our season is 12 weeks in length, culminating with two playoff rounds of "best of three games" to decide our Jason Drapinski Memorial Cup Champions! Our seasons are played over the course of nine months (October through June).
The league was developed and is operated by the players with the assistance of parents and volunteers.
