STRIDE Adaptive Sports’ Capital District Sled Warrior Team Shines at Lake Placid
(Albany, NY) – The Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid conjures up images of the 1980 “Miracle on Ice.” But for STRIDE Adaptive Sports’ sled hockey program – the Capital District Sled Warriors – reaching the podium was more about equal opportunity and everyday magic. With a group of adaptive athletes from 14-54 years old (including combat-injured veterans), the Capital Region team won the gold medal in sled hockey on Sunday at the Empire State Winter Games in Lake Placid. The thrilling title game against Fort Drum Mountain Warrior team went into overtime, still ending in a 0-0 tie. This led to the infamous one-on-one shootout between 3 chosen offensive players from each team against the goalies.
