History
The Team
The Team
In 1980, the Ottawa Stingers became the second Ontario city to have a "Murderball" team, original name of the game, after Bill Powell got the idea of starting a team in Ottawa.
Bill Powell and Lloyd Cowin, of the Royal Ottawa Regional Rehab Centre, decided to get people out and form a team to play this new found game for quadriplegics.
The Game

The Game
Wheelchair Rugby is a physical game played by two teams that contest for possession of the ball in order to score the most points. Players compete in sport-specific manual wheelchairs within the official rules of the game, and according to the spirit of fair play.
To be eligible to play, individuals must have a disability that affects at least three limbs.
