Last month at the 2019 Canadian Tire Para Hockey Cup, the U.S. National Sled Hockey team skated to a perfect 5-0-0-0 (W-OTW-OTL-L) record for a third-straight year at this event.

The U.S. defeated Canada 2-1 in the championship game to secure its sixth-straight Para Hockey Cup title. Declan Farmer (Tampa, Fla.) and Josh Hargis (Colorado Springs, Colo.) each tallied a goal to help lead the U.S. to a record seventh title and 13th podium finish since the event began in 2007.. 

Brody Roybal (Northlake, Ill.) led the tournament with 10 points (3-7) while Farmer led the way with six goals, including his 100th Team USA career goal against Russia in the opening game of the tournament.
