The segment was filmed Wednesday (Jan. 20) with NBC's Craig Melvin, who was in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, to meet the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team and Labatt USA's brand manager, Lisa Texido, to learn more about sled hockey, its impact on the lives of those who play it and Labatt USA's efforts to raise awareness and funding to expand USA Hockey's Sled Hockey program and help disabled athletes get back on the ice and back in the game.
