LONDON, Ont. – Luke McDermott (Westerlo, N.Y.) scored two goals and eight other U.S. players registered at least one point as the 2018-19 U.S. National Sled Hockey Team defeated South Korea, 9-0, in its second game of the 2018 Para Hockey Cup.

“We got contributions across the board tonight and overcame some early adversity to get another quality win,” said David Hoff (Bottineau, N.D.), head coach of the 2018-19 U.S. National Sled Hockey Team. “This was our goal at the start, to come in and skate our way to back-to-back wins. We’ll use the day off tomorrow to take care of ourselves, watch some video and get ready to face Canada again on Thursday.”

The U.S. (2-0-0-0/W-OTW-OTL-L) will return to tournament action on Thursday (Dec. 6) when it faces Canada. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. ET at Western Fair Sports Centre and will be streamed live on HockeyTV.com.
