Brody Roybal’s golden goal lifts U.S. to sled hockey world title

Brody Roybal scored the world championship-winning golden goal, lifting the U.S. sled hockey team past Canada 3-2 in overtime on Saturday.

Roybal, the PyeongChang Paralympic tournament MVP, beat Canadian goalie Dominic Larocque 5:08 into the extra period. The U.S. forced OT when Princeton junior Declan Farmer scored with 3:26 left in regulation in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

The sequence proved similar to last year’s PyeongChang final, when Farmer scored a last-minute tying goal and then a golden goal to beat Canada.

The U.S. and Canada met in the last four world championship finals, trading the biennial titles.
