The Para Ice Hockey portion of the Paralympic Winter Games will begin on March 9, 2018, in PyeongChang, South Korea, and former Tampa Bay Lightning sled player Declan Farmer will once again be representing his country -- this time with an "A" on his jersey. Four years ago, Farmer was part of a US Para Hockey team that made history, the only team that won back-to-back gold medals at the Paralympics. Will he be part of a three-peat?

Farmer, who makes his home in Clearwater, Florida, will join nine former teammates from the gold-medal winning 2014 team, and seven newcomers, in this year's bid for the gold.
