If anyone enjoys murderball (aka wheelchair rugby) in the summer Paralympics, then you'll probably enjoy watching a bunch of people on little sledges, smashing into each other and generally creating what looks like organised chaos. Para ice hockey looks like excellent fun

Do they still have fights? I’m not watching unless there’s a 1 in 3 chance there’s going to be a massive scrap!

So high speed murder ball, with no brakes, and a harder floor? Sounds great

Murderball chairs have no brakes either. No sports chairs have brakes

The sledges are part tea tray, part ice skating blade and you power along the ice using two shortened hockey sticks (which you also use to whack the puck). Crashing into each other is mandatory

My pleasure. Dunno how I missed this thread before. I missed one of my local teams game at the weekend but only because I was watching GB men's getting thumped by Denmark

got the rest of the season sorted though.
