Every game will air live on a pay-per-view basis and will also be available on-demand C shortly after the final buzzer sounds. Game DVDs can also be purchased online. FASTHockey offers discounts to customers who watch multiple games. All the hockey action can be seen on USA Hockey Web TV, which can be found at usahockey.fasthockey.com.

Already tagged as one of the International Paralympic Committee's Ones to Watch for the 2012-13 winter season, Taylor Chace proved the voters right by being named the IPC's Athlete of the Month for December. The Hampton Falls, N.H., native scored the lone goal in the U.S. Sled Team's 1-0 victory over Canada in the championship game of the World Sledge Hockey Challenge in Calgary. "One goal, that's what made the difference," the 26-year-old defenseman said after netting the championship winner. The only other time USA won gold at the World Sledge Hockey Challenge came in 2009 when Chace scored the overtime winner in a 3-2 gold-medal game victory over the Canadians. The captain of the U.S. squad will look to lead the Americans to their third straight title at the IPC Ice Sledge Hockey A Pool World Championships April 12-20 in Goyang, Korea.
