Space Coast Sled Hockey, a 501c(3) nonprofit organization, is a competitive sled hockey team located in Brevard County, Florida. Sled Hockey is an adaptive sport for anyone not able to play stand up hockey. The players are single and double amputees and paraplegics. They are disabled veterans, adults who’ve suffered car and motorcycle accidents, and those with birth defects like spina bifida, autism and MS. Our players come primarily from Brevard County, with some coming from Orange, Seminole, and Indian River Counties. We have also raised and developed three Team USA sled hockey players. Current USA Team member and World Champion Chris Douglas, former Team USA and 2-time Paralympic Gold Medalist Greg Shaw, and current USA Women’s Development Team Karina Villegas have all played with Space Coast Sled Hockey. In 2018 and 2019, five players represented our program at the USA Sled Select Camp.
