turn out to be very different, during the 2010 Paralympics in Vancouver. “It started out as just something fun to do,” says Page, “I didn’t realize there was a higher level, so I made up my goal from there – to get to the highest level.” Page was determined to make the national squad. He first tried out for the National Junior team when he was 14. When he didn’t make it at first, he kept working hard for the next year. He tried again at age 15 and successfully made it onto the National Sledge Hockey Team. A few years later, Page wound up participating in his first Paralympics at Vancouver in 2010. The hard work and dedication to Sledge Hockey from him and the rest of the United States Sledge Hockey team, was rewarded with a gold medal finish. True inspiration comes from hard work, and it’s possible for all of us. “No matter what you’re going through or what obstacle you have in your life, if you put your mind to it, you can do it,” said Page.
