Sledge hockey

History

Canada finished in the first four at the 2017 Sledge Hockey World Championships.  This was why they could compete at the 2018 Winter Paralympics.[11][20] Canada played in the 2017 World Sledge Hockey Challenge in December in Charlottetown, Canada.[11]

The sledge hockey team went to South Korea after winning bronze at the 2014 Winter Paralympics.[6] Canada went to Pyeongchang wanting to win a gold medal. Their biggest competitor was thought to be the United States. The United States was going to the 2018 Winter Paralympics looking to win their third consecutive Paralympic gold, having claimed gold at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Paralympics.[21] In comparison, Canada had won three consecutive gold medals at the World Championships, with their most recent gold at the 2017 World Championships A-Pool.[21]

Roster

The coach for the 2018 Games is Ken Babey. He said choosing the 17 players for the team was very hard.[6]
