Description

The Wheelchair Hockey League (WCHL) of Michigan was created for the enjoyment of participating in hockey. The purpose of this league is to provide an appropriate means for persons in wheelchairs to have the opportunity to play in a competitive floor hockey league and have the chance to engage in the camaraderie and excitement of the sport.

Our league includes players in electric and manual wheelchairs.

The WCHL currently has 40 players, divided into four teams.

Players range in age from 10 to 60+, and have a variety of disabilities that include Muscular Dystrophy, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida and Spinal Cord Injury. 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 Wheeler's Cup Championship! Our seasons are played over the course of 10 months (September through June). We are currently in our 12th season of competitive hockey.

Our games are played Saturdays at The Salvation Army in Warren.

The league was developed and is ran by the players with the assistance of parents and volunteers. The WCHL holds many events throughout the year, including an annual All-Star game, Awards Banquet, Season, Playoffs and Game On Ice.
