Charleston Warriors
​
The Charleston Warriors, founded in 2018, are a proud member of the Southeast Sled Hockey League (SESHL), which began in 2016. The league officially kicked off with the Carolina Cup Tournament, a rotating event hosted annually at various team home rinks.
​
Our program consists of Veterans, Disabled Veterans, and other individuals with disabilities who are passionate about sled hockey. As of 2025, the Charleston Warriors have expanded to include both a Novice Team (C) and an Intermediate Team (B) - (development), allowing us to better serve players of varying skill levels and promote athlete development within our community.
​
The SESHL season features a divisional tournament and culminates in a Championship Weekend with playoff-style round-robin games. The addition of tiered teams ensures more inclusive participation and provides a clearer pathway for growth, skill development, and competitive opportunities.
