USA and Canada face off for gold at the World Sled Hockey Challenge

The United States and Canada will play for the gold medal today at 4 p.m. at the World Sled Hockey Challenge in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia.

When the Winter Paralympic Games were televised for the first time in 2014, audiences all over were introduced to the sport of sledge hockey (known in the United States primarily as sled hockey). People watched on the edge of their seats as these athletes checked as hard, skated as fast and scored just as much as their able-bodied counterparts.

Now, people throughout the world will have a chance to watch two of the best teams go at it this afternoon in a gold medal matchup between the United States and Canada as part of the World Sled Hockey Challenge in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia.
