USA’s ice sledge hockey team that will go to the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games next year will convene in Madison, Wisconsin this weekend (3-5 October) for their next stop on the road to Sochi.
Over the next three days at the Madison Ice Arena, Team USA will train together and play exhibition games against the US national development team.
