The World Para Ice Hockey Championships, known before 30 November 2016 as the IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships, are the world championships for sledge hockey. They are organised by the International Paralympic Committee through its World Para Ice Hockey subcommittee.

The first sanctioned World Para Ice Hockey Championships were held in Nynäshamn, Sweden in 1996.[1]

On 30 November 2016, the IPC, which serves as the international governing body for 10 disability sports, adopted the "World Para" branding across all of those sports. At the same time, it changed the official name of the sport from "sledge hockey" to "Para Ice hockey". The name of the world championships was immediately changed to "World Para Ice Hockey Championships" (WPIHC).[2]

gollark: Sunk cost fallacy = UTTER bees.

gollark: > This book is intended as a text for a second or third level undergraduate course in introductory ethical calculus or morality science. Ethical Calculus on the Astral Manifold demonstrates foundational concepts of ZFC+DMR axiomatic moral theory in particularly novel ways. Join an autonomous car as it journeys across the utility isosurface, restricted in phase-space by the physical constraints of spacetime. Follow the thought processes of the man at the lever in the modified manifold trolley problem. Watch as a eigenmoses maximizer behaves in a simulated environment, following an instinct one might find very familiar. These are just a few of many case studies presented, analyzed in detail in a manner both interesting, easy to read, and highly informative. Freshman knowledge of real analytical techniques is recommended but not necessarily required.

gollark: I was hoping for the realization of this random book cover.

gollark: I see.

gollark: What do you mean "morally"? Have you devised some sort of formally specified typed encoding for ethics?
