Greg Shaw Has No Limits

Despite being one of the youngest sled hockey players on Team USA’s roster, Greg Shaw played in all 16 games of the 2007-2008 season. At the 2008 IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships, Shaw netted his first national team goal to help Team USA win the bronze medal.  Shaw was also part of the 2010 gold medal Paralympic Sled Hockey National Team.

Shaw supports the National Ability Center, and organization based in his hometown, whose mission is to develop lifetime skills for people of all ages and abilities by providing affordable sports and recreation experiences in a nurturing environment. When asked who the most influential person in his life, Shaw says, “I would have to say my dad has been the most influential person in my life because he raised me to never quit, so I don’t plan on it.”
