“We are thrilled to name the first 14 players to the Paralympic team,” said Dan Brennan, general manager of the U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team. “It is a great blend of high-powered forwards who can score, a solid dependable defensive core and goaltending.
“We’re excited to bring this group to Milan and to round out our roster to 17 players in the coming weeks.”
