Graciously bearing the name of one of the great Original Six NHL teams, the AbilityLab Blackhawks Sled Hockey Team was formed in the fall of 1999 with the support of the Chicago Blackhawks Charities. With its continued support of AbilityLab Adaptive Sports Program, the AbilityLab Blackhawks remain a robust presence in the sled hockey arena.
Anyone with a physical disability is welcome to join the Blackhawks sled hockey program.
