The WCHL is the only competitive wheelchair floor hockey league for wheelchair users in Michigan! In recent years, we have begun a venture into growing our sport across the state! In addition to our league in Fraser, Michigan, we run clinics through the summer months in St. Joseph, Michigan.

The WCHL is committed to spreading wheelchair hockey throughout the state, because the benefits of the sport are powerful and wheelchair hockey is a sport unlike any other sport! This clinic is a great opportunity to give wheelchair hockey a try!
