Jack Wallace (Franklin Lakes, N.J.) scored a hat trick to help lift the U.S. National Sled Team to a 6-1 victory over Canada in the gold medal game of the 2025 World Para Ice Hockey Championship at the LECOM Harborcenter here today.

Jack Wallace said he still has a bad taste in his mouth from this past May.

After winning three straight gold medals at the World Para Ice Hockey Championship, the U.S. had to settle for a silver medal at the 2024 edition of the tournament due to a 2-1 loss to Canada in the gold-medal game.

As the 26-year-old defenseman from Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, pointed out, the U.S. ran into a hot goaltender and fell just short of winning a fourth consecutive world title.
