Mission Statement and General Information


The CEWHA has been operating in Canada for over 12 years. Our mission statement 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 competetive sport.

Competition and challenge are healthy and necessary aspects fo 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 the 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.
The CEWHA is more than just a hockey league. It is a social organization as well. Throughout the season we organize social events for the players, their families, and our volunteer members. These include pizza nights, and various fund raising events. At the end of each season we hold our "Annual Awards Banquet" where we recognize and celebrate the achievements of our players, teams, and volunteers. Trophies are awarded and a dance follows.
