During
the late afternoon of Saturday 19 December The Pier at Herne Bay was taken over by the local
roller skating community for the second time in recent months for a multi discipline Roller
Skating Extravaganza.
Sledge Hockey is a variant of ice hockey using sledges to allow participants to move about
the rink at high speeds whilst controlling and hitting a puck. Players sit in adapted
sledges, propelling themselves with sticks adapted to allow propulsion in a manner similar
to skiing. As players are strapped to a sledge everybody has the same restrictions,
regardless of whether or not the player has a disability.
