Special Hockey, sometimes known as Adaptive Hockey, is a version of hockey adapted for athletes with cognitive disorders. It is for cognitive disorders what Sledge or Sledge Hockey is for disorders of mobility.
Administratively Special Hockey is managed through Special Hockey International and through national organizations such as the American Special Hockey Association. Teams are typically supported by regional hockey associations, local adaptive athlete programs, user fees, and generous donations from local organizations.
Founded in 2006 Minnesota Hockey's Minnesota Special Hockey Association has 3 teams as of 2009, all in the Twin Cities area. These include the North Polars, West Eagles, and East Stingers.
