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.
