Colorado sled hockey players are powering Team USA as they chase a fifth straight Paralympic gold. An adaptation of hockey for athletes with disabilities, sled hockey has deep roots in Colorado — local rinks, rehab programs and national training centers have turned diverse athletes (former soccer players, gymnasts and more) into elite competitors. Their resilience, community-first mentality and relentless work ethic are why Colorado matters for Team USA’s chances. This is a story of opportunity and pushing the sport forward, not just medals.
