The United States men’s team continued their dominance of para ice hockey on the final day of the 2022 Winter Paralympics with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Canada. It was a repeat of the 2018 final, which was a much closer affair decided in overtime, and marks the fourth consecutive time that the US have struck gold in the event. Just over 1,000 people watched the match at the Beijing National Indoor Stadium, seeing Declan Farmer and Brody Roybal score two goals each with Josh Pauls getting one.
There was also a US gold in the cross-country relay. A stunning final leg by Jake Adicoff moved the American team up from fourth to first place, with China taking silver and Canada securing bronze. It means the Ukrainian-born US athlete Oksana Masters finishes the Games with seven medals, having ended up on the podium in every event in which she competed. Ukraine had gone into the race as favourites but finished fourth.
