Electric Wheelchair Hockey Floorball (EWH)

Electric Wheelchair Hockey is a sport for people in electric wheelchairs. EWH is played on an area approximately the size of a basketball court with a surrounding rink.

Five players (4+1) are on the court at any time, but a team may have 5 substitute players. A team should have two players with ’T – Sticks‘ (a T shaped stick attached to the wheelchair of players who are not able to hold the stick in the hand, because of limited muscle power) but at least one must be the goalie.
