The extraordinary true story of the U.S. sled hockey team that
overcame physical adversity and internal strife to win Paralympic
gold. When former NHL star Rick Middleton accepted the position of
head coach for the United States sled hockey team, he wasn't sure
what to expect. The program had never medaled-had never even come
close, in fact. But where Middleton might have found despair, he
instead found an incredible group of men who had battled their way
back from hell to play the sport they love. In Hockey's Hidden
Gods: The Untold Story of a Paralympic Miracle on Ice, S.C. Megale
uncovers the remarkable tale of a team that shocked the world by
taking U.S. sled hockey from worst to first in the 2002
Paralympics. Odds of winning were dismal. The road to victory
seemed unfathomable. But this cast of fifteen athletes with
disabilities, athletes who had helped build a groundbreaking U.S.
sled hockey program with almost no outside support, ultimately
persevered on the global stage. Featuring a fascinating history of
sled hockey, exclusive interviews with players and coaches,
action-packed game coverage, and intimate profiles sharing the
players' personal journeys, Hockey's Hidden Gods is the uplifting
story of how once-shattered dreams can be reborn and rebuilt
through tenacity, grit, and an indomitable spirit.
