Please join us as we get ready to celebrate Breakaway 2026
Wheelchair Sports Federation New York Sled Rangers
We are the Wheelchair Sports Federation New York Sled Rangers, a sled hockey program for physically disabled youth ages 5 through 21. We are one of the very few outlets for physically disabled kids to play competitive sports in New York City.
We are continuing to change perceptions and ideas about what people with physical disabilities are ABLE to do. And when sled ranger athletes walk or wheel into their classrooms, and they tell their able-bodied friends that they are hockey players, it changes how their friends see them, how their parents see them, and how they see themselves. We are increasing self-esteem, self-confidence, and independence. And today, more than 75 Sled Ranger athletes have experienced the accomplishments, disappointments, and growth of character that comes with being on a team. It is this experience that made one young athlete look up and say, "Mom, I'm FINALLY on a team!".
We are committed to covering 100% of the costs for any athlete who wants to play, and we are determined to introduce even more kids to the great sport of sled hockey. The WSF NY Sled Rangers is actively looking for children to participate on their sled hockey team.
The WSF Sled Rangers was founded in 2012 by Bill Greenberg and Victor Calise.

Breakaway!
Breakaway is the name of our bi-annual event to raise money for our program and to raise awareness about sled hockey in general. The money we raise is used for ice time, equipment, tournament fees, transportation, and much more. Breakaway events are usually held in February or March in even-numbered years. So mark your calendar for 2026! Go Rangers!
