Canadian Blind Hockey is Looking for a Head Coach!

The Para sport of Blind Hockey is a variation of ice hockey for athletes who are blind or partially sighted. The sport uses some modified rules and equipment, most notably the adapted puck that makes noise and is larger than a traditional puck. At the recreational level all athletes must be visually impaired, while at the competitive level all players must be classified as legally blind, which is defined as having approximately ten percent vision or less. All goaltenders are extremely low vision or completely blind and wear a blindfold.
