The New Mexico Blade Runners recently became national champions in Sled Hockey. They dominated in Division 6 during the Disabled Hockey Festival in St. Louis, Missouri.
During the tournament, the team had 45 unanswered goals. Forward and UNM student Deavon Tabish-Moran said that communication and speed were key for the team to come back to the competition and take first after being third last year.
“We went back and we competed in the same division. We wanted to do well in it before moving up, and we came out and (were) much more dominant, showing that we were anticipating,” Tabish-Moran said.
