COVID-19: Hockey Alberta cancels minor hockey games for remainder of season “It’s been pretty tough for people with disabilities,” retired Team Canada sledge player Chris Cederstrand said from a southeast outdoor rink.“Me and Zach are pretty lucky, we’re able to walk around, we’re able to potentially get out to an ODR or something like that.“A lot of the guys that we know and that we train are in a wheelchair.
You’re really sort of stuck in what you can do.”Now a coach with AMP Hockey Academy, Cederstrand and current Team Canada member Zach Lavin are pushing for Para Hockey players to return to the ice.Both are concerned for the physical and mental health of athletes, especially those who may be taking up a demanding sport like sledge.
