Blind Ice Hockey is the same exhilarating, fast-paced sport we know and love, with only one difference: each player is legally blind. Players of Blind Hockey have a limited spectrum of sight. In Blind Hockey, the puck represents the most significant modification to this specialized version of Hockey with the official puck going through multiple redesigns since the creation of the sport. The current Blind Hockey League standard pucks are made of hollow steel (22 gauge) and contain 8 ball-bearings that rattle inside the puck as it moves across the ice rink. In collaboration with the St. Louis Lighthouse for the Blind and the St. Louis Blues Blind Hockey Club, the CHROME Lab is developing the next-generation technologies  for the blind to re-imagine the blind ice hockey experience.
