PSA's Adapted Floor Hockey program attracts participants who use a manual or electric wheelchair. The PSA Knights meet weekly to play games and practice their skills.

PSA's 4th Annual Wheelchair Floor Hockey Tournament was again a huge success, with us learning from last year's successes. With an increase to 6 teams this year, we saw some new faces, as well as many familiar ones. And a great time was definitely had by all during the games and also the skills competition. Thank you to all the players, spectators and volunteers who participated in making this exciting day a success. We also have to give another large thank you to the Cerebal Palsy Association in Alberta who sponsored the tournament again this year.
