The roster for the 2026 U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team was announced Friday by USA Hockey live on NBC’s TODAY Show.

The 14 players named to the initial 2026 U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team include two-time Paralympian and Aurora native Malik Jones.

“We are thrilled to name the first 14 players to the Paralympic team,” said Dan Brennan, general manager of the U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team. “It is a great blend of high-powered forwards who can score, a solid dependable defensive core and goaltending.

“We’re excited to bring this group to Milan and to round out our roster to 17 players in the coming weeks.”
