	Ice sledge hockey is open only to ~~male~~ competitors with a physical disability in the lower part of their body. The game is played using international hockey rules with some modifications. Athletes sit on sledges with two blades that allow the puck to go beneath the sledge. They also use two sticks, which have a spike-end for pushing and a blade-end for shooting. The athletes are classified into three groups: group 1 is for athletes with no sitting balance or with major impairment in both upper and lower limbs, group 2 is for athletes with some sitting balance and moderate impairment in their extremities and athletes in group 3 have good balance and mild impairment in their upper and lower limbs.{{cite web\|title=Ice Sledge Hockey\|publisher=Australian Paralympic Committee\|url=http://vancouver2010.paralympic.org.au/sports/ice-sledge-hockey\|access-date=2010-06-01\|archive-date=2011-02-21\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110221170338/http://vancouver2010.paralympic.org.au/sports/ice-sledge-hockey\|url-status=dead}}		Ice sledge hockey is open only to competitors with a physical disability in the lower part of their body.
