Canadian Deaf Ice Hockey Federation

The Canadian Deaf Ice Hockey Federation organizes and promotes ice hockey for deaf and hard of hearing athletes across Canada, including programs in the Greater Toronto Area. The federation develops competitive teams, runs leagues and tournaments, and works to ensure deaf athletes have access to organized hockey at recreational and elite levels. By creating structured opportunities for athletic participation, the federation builds community among deaf hockey players while advancing inclusivity in a sport traditionally dominated by hearing participants. The organization handles player development, coaches coordination, and competition management to give deaf athletes the chance to compete, train, and excel in ice hockey.
