What is power wheelchair hockey? Wheelchair hockey is the same as floor hockey, where we play on the gym floor and play four on four hockey.
Being introduced to power wheelchair hockey at a summer camp, he didn’t look back after that experience going on to represent Toronto at the North American Power Hockey Cup twice and also winning championships and MVPs in the CEWHA and TPWHL leagues.
And in 2012, I started a campaign called Cover Paralympics Now cause I was frustrated with the amount of coverage of the paralympic games on TV
Torrance is a huge fan of sports and after the experience of running a campaign for more Paralympics coverage led to him starting Sports Enables Me, which grew to Enables Me as more friends joined the movement.
In this Enables Me Live! talk, Torrance shares his experience playing power wheelchair hockey and the origin story of Enables Me.
