Hockey is a pastime that many Canadians take for granted. It is generally accepted that, if you’re able to skate, there’s  opportunity to play ‘Canada’s Game’. This reality is true to a point. Until, as a player, you start to discover that teams with other players of the same age, just don’t quite feel the same anymore and the enjoyment of a game you once loved begins to fade.

This is where the Cambridge Ice Hounds come in. We're a hockey program developed for players with physical and/or cognitive disabilities which prevent them from participating in traditional hockey programs.

Over the past 18 years, more than 100 children and adults with special needs in Waterloo Region have called themselves “Hounds”. Annually, more than 75 athletes take to the ice from early fall through early spring.
