We're officially kicking off our Giving Tuesday campaign, and we need your help!

From introducing new athletes to the sport to hosting training clinics and providing specialized equipment, your support helps us turn interest into opportunities to play.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be taking you behind the scenes of volt hockey, introducing you to our athletes, and showing you the impact your donations can make!

Who needs an extra hour of sleep when you could be playing volt hockey?! ⏰⚡🏒

While everyone else was enjoying that extra hour in bed, we were up bright and early at Para Sports Day at Tufts University, hosted by Adaptive Sports New England!

We had a great morning introducing new faces to volt hockey and getting plenty of people in chairs to give it a try, including a wheelchair football player and an endless stream of Tufts OT students!

Thank you to Adaptive Sports New England and Tufts Occupational Therapy for hosting and providing an army of fantastic volunteers! And a special shoutout to Kim, Laura, Desi, Gab, and the Abagians for helping run our booth while Marley zipped around showing off her snazzy new chair décor 🍌

Another massive step forward for volt hockey in the U.S! 🎉🏒

We're excited to share that the United States Volt Hockey Association has been awarded a $60,000 grant from the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation!

This funding will help us expand our equipment loan closet with six new volt hockey chairs and bring the sport to more communities across the country, with a special focus on reaching individuals with spinal cord injuries.

Over the next year, we'll be working with adaptive sports organizations and rehabilitation centers to host more demonstrations and clinics, introduce new athletes to volt hockey, and help lay the groundwork for new teams in areas where the sport isn't yet available.

A huge thank you to the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation for supporting our mission and helping us make volt hockey more accessible across the United States! ❤️

Sports galore yesterday at Rutgers University’s Adaptive Sports Day! 🏒♿

The day kicked off with panels featuring adaptive athletes sharing their experiences, including our very own Marley! In the afternoon, we headed to the gym for demonstrations of all kinds of adaptive sports, including power soccer, power hockey, volt hockey, and more!

Our pals from the Philadelphia PowerPlay even recruited Marley to join their power hockey demo with a few volt hockey chairs thrown into the mix! Marley scored her first power hockey goal, and there’s a chance we might have stolen one of the Flyers PowerPlay athletes after trying volt hockey! 😉

Thank you to Rutgers for hosting such a great event and giving us the opportunity to introduce more people to volt hockey. We loved reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting new folks, and getting to experience so many different adaptive sports!

🇩🇰 2026 Champions League in Aabenraa, Denmark! 🇩🇰

When Marley found out her team’s practice was canceled for the weekend just four days before the tournament, we figured… why not hop on a flight to Denmark and watch some of the best volt hockey in the world for an “educational work trip”? 😉

The Champions League brings together the top two teams from each Scandinavian country, and this year Canada joined the competition for the first time. They made a terrific debut and absolutely held their own against some of the most elite teams in the sport- so proud of our North American neighbors!

We had the best time reconnecting with our international volt hockey community, cheering on our honorary BVH Lions teammates who trained with us at our clinic this summer, and getting a behind the scenes look at the facility’s in house volt hockey chair storage and repair shop.

A massive congratulations to everyone involved in such a great weekend of competition, and to IFAH Stockholm for taking home the gold and keeping their undefeated streak going! 🏆

Getting to experience tournaments like this makes us even more excited about where volt hockey can go in the U.S. and shows us the level of play that’s possible to achieve!
