Most notably, he has won championships with the Medicine Hat Tigers (2004) and Canada men's national ice sledge hockey team (2013).

[3] His autobiography, The Ups and Downs of Almost Dying, was released in August 2017 on the 10th anniversary of the cliff-jumping accident that nearly killed him.

In the summer of 2009, Block was introduced to sledge hockey by his friend Matt Cook and went on to join the national team in 2011, where he competed for two seasons.

He rejoined the team for one more season the following year, winning silver at the 2015 IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships.
