The first ever ice hockey team of transtibial amputees playing in a standing position was established in St. Petersburg in 1999 under the program "US-Russian Prosthetic Rehabilitation Bridge" [1]. Nowadays, Canada, Russia, USA, Finland, Czech Republic and Latvia have their national associations, two World Championships were conducted (2003 - Kiisakalio, Finland; 2004 - Prague, Czech Republic), and the International Standing Ice Hockey Federation (ISIHF) was formed. Players from the former Yugoslav states, Estonia, Sweden, Israel, and Australia are very active in attempts to form the teams in their countries. Beyond the tournaments, players have participated in many professional conventions and other public events in support of international assistance to landmine victims and rehabilitation of children worldwide. The ISPO has been supportive in disseminating information and knowledge in amputee hockey, providing an opportunity for a demonstration game at the 2004 World Congress in Hong Kong (Figure 1).
1999年，在“美俄假肢康复桥梁”项目下，圣彼得堡成立了首支由经胫骨截肢者组成的站立式冰球队[1]。如今，加拿大、俄罗斯、美国、芬兰、捷克共和国和拉脱维亚都有各自的国家协会，举办了两届世界锦标赛（2003年——芬兰基萨卡里奥；2004年——捷克共和国布拉格），并成立了国际站立式冰球联合会（ISIHF）。来自前南斯拉夫国家、爱沙尼亚、瑞典、以色列和澳大利亚的运动员积极尝试在本国组建球队。除了锦标赛，运动员还参加了许多专业会议和其他公共活动，以支持对全球地雷受害者的国际援助和儿童康复工作。国际假肢与矫形器学会（ISPO）一直支持传播截肢者冰球的信息和知识，并在2004年香港世界大会上提供了一场示范比赛的机会（图1）。
