OSTRAVA, Czechia – Declan Farmer (Tampa, Fla.) scored twice and goaltender Griffin LaMarre (Haverhill, Mass.)  recorded a shutout to help the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team capture the 2025 IPH Cup championship with a 3-0 victory over Canada here today (Oct. 26) at Ostravar Arena.

“I thought this was a great way to finish this tournament, a really solid effort from beginning to end tonight,” said David Hoff (Bottineau, N.D.), head coach of the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team. “From the goaltending, to all the way up front, we played a really solid game and hopefully that’s a start to a really strong season.”

Malik Jones (Aurora, Colo.) opened the scoring 9:17 into the contest while the U.S. was shorthanded, intercepting an attempted breakout pass in the slot and firing the puck past Canadian netminder Corbin Watson for what proved to be the game-winning goal.
