This probably will not get as much attention as the traditional gold medals won by team USA in both the men’s and women’s hockey. However, the USA team has won the paralympic hockey gold medal beating Canada in the final.
Super cool. For the first time ever, Team USA won all three gold medals in hockey.
(VIA Associated Press) – Three weeks after the United States beat Canada in the Olympic hockey finals, the Americans overcame their neighbors again to win Paralympic gold and complete the sweep at Milan Cortina.
In front of a packed arena, Jack Wallace scored a hat trick to help the U.S. beat Canada 6-2 in Sunday’s Para ice hockey final and become the first nation to win all three of the hockey tournaments at the Olympics and Paralympics in the same year. There is currently no women’s division at the Paralympics as it is classified as an open-gender sport.
Kayden Beasley, Declan Farmer — the tournament’s MVP — and Brody Roybal scored the other goals for the U.S. Liam Hickey bagged both goals for Canada, which pushed its rivals hard before conceding three in the final period.
“I’m glad we got it done because I think there’s a little bit more pressure with the men and women getting the golds too,” U.S. captain Josh Pauls said. “But I’m happy we could do it for USA hockey and I think it really just shows like how much they … invest in the grassroots programs because we have so many young players coming up and playing pivotal roles on our teams.” (read more)

Grand Hope President Trump can have them at the wh.
To be fair, Canada probably euthanized their best players under MAID…
Were such a thing true, the country that does such a thing deserves to never win anything again. THAT would be fair.
What a blessing.
Hope all these young men enjoy their time at the White House with President Trump!
(’cause we know they’ll be invited soon, if they haven’t been already!)
Playing hockey is difficult, playing hockey as a paraplegic must be doubley so. Congratulations Team USA!
Whenever there’s a championship or trophy at stake
You can count on Canadians to step on a rake
In Major League sports, it’s a running joke
That Canadians always choke!
Unnecessary. btw, there are many Canadians on U.S. hockey teams.
That’s loser talk. Nobody would ever say that if the Canadian teams won games.
Team USA!
Tough enough!
Well done,
USA Paralympic
Hockey Team!!
All your hockey belong to us.
WOOF – !!!
Not just these paralympians but all those who suffer a tragic event, whether it be physical or cognitive related, and battle back to be productive citizens.
As opposed to some who refuse to hold a job and live off of government or the welfare of their families. I have a few “in-laws” of this variety.
Congrats USA hockey!

Hallelujah! 💕
USA beat Canada in the WBC this past Friday night, 5-3.
Keep winning!
“open-gender sport”
Open to both sexes, you’re welcome. They’re always trying to make sh!t up and change the lexicon.
Thank you, for your Love and honor for our country. GO TEAM USA GO!!!
These young men are a shining example of how adversity can be overcome with hard work and refusing to be a victim.
May God bless each and every one of them.
Absolutely fantastic, congratulations to team USA! A visit to the White House would be an Honor for President Trump.
Outstanding!
Always great to see these guys put in so much effort and win.
I played High School hockey with the Team USA Sled Hockey coach, David Hoff. Not a very fast player, but had an excellent shot. He was their assistant coach or head coach for every Gold Medal they have won.
Good to see him and his team do well.

Great job, USA. Great job!
Winning an Olympic medal is one of the most difficult endeavors anyone can undertake. It is a rare and wonderful thing, and should be celebrated.
