Canada is internationally recognized as a leader in men"s and women"s hockey, but in 2006 Canada had yet to conquer the world of sledge hockey, the Paralympic version of ice hockey played by athletes with a physical disability in the lower part of the body. The Canadian Men"s Sledge Hockey team came into the 2006 games as the underdogs. Yet, through determination, guts and guile, they overcame all obstacles to win gold. Lorna Schultz Nicholson is a former sports journalist and the award-winning author of numerous titles for children and young readers.
