What is a Sledge?

A sledge is what a player uses to move around on the ice.

The sledges shown below are a prime example of a typical design.

Sledge Sledge Sledge

The average cost for a sledge starts from $200.00 and goes as high as $800.00 and up. The length of the sledge is adjustable and the blades are also adjustable. The blades are moved closer together or farther apart depending on the players ability to balance him or herself.

It consists of the following parts:

An Aluminum Frame
A Seat
Seat Strap
Skate Blades

There are many different designs but there is also a universal set of guidelines that must be met when building a sledge. Some of the guidelines are as follows:

The sledge must be a minumum height off the ice so that the puck can easily pass from underneath.
The sledge must have a soft design. No sharp edges or points.
There must not be any protrusions.
