Deaf Chess

Chess is a strategic board game played between two players. It is played on an 8×8 checkered board with 16 pieces per side: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The goal is to checkmate the opponent’s king, meaning it is in a position to be captured and cannot escape. Players take turns moving pieces according to specific rules, and the game involves planning, tactics, and foresight. Chess ends with a checkmate, a draw, or a stalemate.

Deaf Ice Hockey

The American Hearing Impaired Hockey Association (AHIHA) is one of the largest deaf sports organizations in the nation. Since 1973, the AHIHA has regularly held seasonal camps, clinics and competitions for deaf and hard of hearing hockey players. The USA presented a team at the first ice hockey demo at the 1975 Deaflympics, and the national ice hockey team has brought home 5 medals in the last 5 winter deaflympics.

The AHIHA gives deaf and hard of hearing hockey players opportunities to train with their peers and to be coached by staff with national and international experience. Many of the youth who go through the AHIHA clinics go on to lead successful playing careers in high school and college programs, or even junior hockey leagues.

Wheelchair Rugby

Wheelchair rugby is a team sport for athletes with a disability. It is practiced in over twenty-five countries around the world. The requirement that all wheelchair rugby players need to have disabilities that include at least some loss of function in at least three limbs was based on the original name of the sport “quad rugby”.

Wheelchair Rugby is a simple game with complex strategies for playing both offense and defense. It is played with a volleyball on a basketball-size court with goal lines marked by cones and a lined-off “key” area.

The object of the game is to score a goal (1 point) by crossing the goal line with possession of the ball while the opposing team is defending that goal. The team with the most points when time runs out wins.
