Volt hockey first originated in Scandinavia in the 1990s when the Crown Prince of Denmark made a donation to the Danish Disabled Sports Federation to create the new sport. Since then, volt hockey quickly gained in popularity across Scandinavia and Europe for people with upper and lower body physical disabilities such as Muscular Dystrophy, Dwarfism, and Cerebral Palsy.

In the late 2010s, volt hockey made its debut in North America through Variety - The Children's Charity in Ontario, Canada. Thanks to the support of the support of the Toronto Maple Leafs and other charitable organizations, the sport became established throughout much of Canada, including Alberta, Calgary, and Edmonton.

The Boston Self Help Center (BSHC), a non-profit run by and for people with disabilities in the local Boston area, purchased its first set of volt hockey chairs.
