Let’s goooooooo USA!! 🇺🇸🥇🏒🥅

Three weeks after the United States beat Canada in the Olympic ice hockey finals, the Americans overcame their neighbors again to win Paralympic gold and complete the three-peat at Milan Cortina.

Jack Wallace scored a hat trick to help the U.S. beat Canada 6-2 in Sunday's Para ice hockey final and become the first nation to sweep the hockey tournaments at the Olympics and Paralympics.

A 4th grader at Baker Elementary School in Upper St. Clair, Jackson was facing off against Cooper Mangini, 11, of Bethel Park. The friends, who both use wheelchairs, were battling back and forth Feb. 14 during a match on the PlayStation 5 game NHL 25 during the monthly Empowered Esports gaming event, for players with physical challenges.
