One of Tampa’s own, Monica Quimby, has the chance of a lifetime to represent Team USA on a world stage at the Women’s World Ice Sledge Hockey Festival in Norway over the next three days.
Quimby is a fiercely competitive member of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Bandits sled hockey teams. Quimby and her teammates are on a mission, along with Team Canada and Team Europe, to grow the sport of sled hockey around the world. One goal is for women’s sled hockey to finally be recognized by the International Paralympic Committee.
Canada head coach Tara Chisholm expressed her hopes for the weekend’s festivities.
