NYMBURK, Czechia – The U.S. National Sled Hockey Team fell to Canada, 5-1, in the 2026 IPH Cup championship game here today (Oct. 24) at Nymburk Winter Arena.

“It’s a tough loss, but looking within the game, I thought how we played for the first 10 minutes was the best we played all tournament,” said David Hoff (Bottineau, N.D.), head coach of the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team. “We fell apart defensively and that was disappointing. We have some things to work on and some positives we can take away from this, we just unfortunately didn’t win the game.”
