Steve Cash | U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2022

It didn’t matter the situation. Whether it was a pickup game, practice or a gold-medal game, Steve Cash just didn’t like to give up a goal.

Cash was a dominant goaltender for the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team after earning his spot as a 16-year-old. Now 33, Cash will be the first Para athlete to go into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. He will be inducted alongside Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson, Monique Lamoureux-Morando, Jim Johannson and Ryan Miller on Wednesday, Nov. 30 in St. Paul, Minnesota, as part of the Hall of Fame’s 50th class.

A native of Overland, Missouri, Cash spearheaded three consecutive Paralympic gold-medal teams from 2010-18, as well as winning five world championships. He had a 1.22 goals-against average, registered an .898 save percentage and won 103 of the 150 games he played in with the national team.

In his Paralympic debut as the starting goaltender at the 2010 Vancouver Games, Cash did not allow a goal in any of the five games en route to a gold medal, and then received the ESPY that year for "Best Male Athlete with a Disability."

Cash retired before the 2022 Beijing Paralympics. As the U.S. got ready for the tournament, an exhibition series against rival Canada was played in St. Louis and Cash was asked to drop the puck in a ceremonial faceoff as part of celebrating his career.
