United States Volt Hockey Association
The United States Volt Hockey Association was founded in 2022, and officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2024, to serve as the main governing and organizational body for volt hockey in the US. Originally created in Denmark in the 1990s, volt hockey has since become a popular adaptive sport for people with physical disabilities across Europe, Canada, and now here in the United States. Volt hockey is a 3v3 team sport designed for people with limited upper and lower body mobility, such as those with muscular dystrophy. Combining elements of go-karting and hockey, volt hockey allows players to navigate a sturdy wiffle ball around a basketball court using specialized wooden chairs equipped with paddles. These motorized chairs can be customized to meet each player’s needs and can reach speeds of up to 10 mph, making the game both fast-paced and exhilarating.
