Iceball Association

Iceball Association was founded by Joel Waddell in partnership with Ministry Motion in late August 2019 to organize and run events for a new sport that Joel invented called iceball with a mission to contribute to the needs of others starting by raising awareness for a little-known condition called misophonia. Iceball can be described as a combination of hockey and handball as the game is played on ice and the player positions are the same as hockey player positions and many of the rules resemble hockey rules, but goals are scored by throwing a ball into the net. In summary, misophonia is a sensitivity to specific sounds that trigger emotional and physical reactions and, in some cases, there can be visual triggers as well. Joel is a Christian and his primary source of motivation to help others comes from his faith and, for this reason, Iceball Association was founded on Christian values.
