Congratulations to the the USA Sled Hockey team, including now 2-time Gold medalist – #37 – Stoneham’s own David Eustace.
The United States Paralympic sled hockey team beat Canada 6-2 in the March 15th final to win its fifth-straight gold medal. For the first time, the U.S. swept all three hockey golds at the Olympic and Paralympic Games: both the men’s and women’s Olympic teams and now USA sled hockey.
Now 26, David is a gifted athlete who has been playing sled hockey since the age of 8, along with baseball and basketball, despite losing the lower part of his left leg at only age five.
David’s proud parents, Andrea and Paul Eustace, joined us at the museum in February Open House before they left to watch the Paralympics at Cortina, Italy. They can be seen below posing with one of our prized artifacts – a signed jersey from David’s first trip to the Olympics in Beijing in 2022. It was part of our Olympics exhibit featuring artifacts from Stoneham’s seven other Olympic athletes. They have all made their hometown proud.
