Mission Statement

Our Mission

The Canadian Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association has been operating in Canada for over 17 years. Our mission is to provide a quality hockey program for all persons with disabilities who have limited upper body strength and/or mobility, who could significantly benefit from the use of an electric wheelchair in competitive sports.

Competition and challenge are healthy and necessary aspects of human nature. The CEWHA was formed to provide quality, well-organized, recreation and social programs to a specific segment of our community. This program is open to all persons with disabilities regardless of age or sex, who meet the criteria outlined in our mission statement. The CEWHA provides an atmosphere of fun for players to improve upon their game skills while being part of a team. From our perspective, the abilities of our players are emphasized while special needs are treated with dignity and sensitivity. Through our hockey league, we hope to enrich the lives of our members by helping them to achieve an increased sense of purpose, sense of belonging, and increase fun and enjoyment in life.
