MILAN – Canada’s Para ice hockey team settled for silver after a 6-2 loss to the United States on Sunday in the final event of the Milan Cortina Paralympics.
Liam Hickey scored both goals for Canada, which hasn’t won hockey gold at the Paralympics since the 2006 Games. Canada has medalled at every Games besides 2002 and 2010 since its inception at the Paralympics in 1994.
Jack Wallace led the Americans with three goals while Kayden Beasley, Declan Farmer and Brody Roybal, with a short-handed empty-netter, added the others.
It’s the fifth straight Paralympic gold for the U.S., which lost to Canada at the 2024 world championships but won in 2023 and 2025 leading up to these Games.
In Para alpine skiing action, Canada’s Kalle Eriksson, and guide Sierra Smith, earned bronze in the men’s slalom for their third medal of the Paralympics.
Eriksson and Smith, who won silver and bronze earlier in the Games, finished with a total time of one minute 31.26 seconds. Italy’s Giacomo Bertagnolli (1:29.29) and Poland’s Michal Golas (1:29.56) grabbed gold and silver, respectively.
