The term "standing" marks the sport's distinction from Sledge Ice Hockey, where players skate in a sitting position on specially designed sleds, using both of their hands to propel themselves, maneuver and shoot. Standing hockey is governed by the International Standing Amputee Ice Hockey federation (ISIHF), which has developed a sport specific classification to equalize teams and ensure a safe and fair game. On March 10th, 2010, the IPC Governing Board granted the ISIHF "IPC recognized International Federation" status. -Mark Pitkin ISIHF President
