Make It Four In A Row
THE U.S. NATIONAL SLED HOCKEY TEAM started the 2025-26 season by claiming
its fourth straight IPH Cup with a convincing 3-0 win over Canada in the championship
game. The U.S. went 4-1-0-0 (W-OTW-OTL-L) in Ostrava, Czechia, from Oct. 20-26 to
remain undefeated in the competition, which debuted in 2022.
The Cup win puts the U.S. on a path toward their goal of a gold medal at the 2026
Paralympic Winter Games, which would be its fifth straight.
Declan Farmer, who scored a pair of goals and added an assist in the championship
game, became the first U.S. player to reach 400 career points when he recorded four goals
and three assists in an 8-2 win over China in the preliminary round.
"You don't get that without having good teammates to pass you the puck and score
goals themselves," Farmer said. "It's definitely a team stat and team achievement over
the course of my career in the program we've built, including all the guys before us, as
well." Read More at TeamUSA.USAHockey.com

Hockey players across the country are promoting a positive
concussion culture with the Team Up Against Concussions
speech. The message is simple: a teammate with a
concussion needs your help. It's important to speak up for
a teammate in need.
