Wheelchair Rugby, originally known as murderball, is a fast and furious full contact sport. A combination of elements from basketball, handball and ice hockey, the sport was invented in Winnipeg in 1976. Today, it is played in 40 countries and is under development in several more. Congratulations to the Canadian Wheelchair Rugby Team for their silver medal at the Parapan American Games!
