Reigning Paralympic champion Team USA faces host nation Russia in the sled hockey gold medal final live tomorrow at Noon ET/9 a.m. PT on NBC. Team USA is looking to win its second consecutive Paralympic gold medal and third overall by avenging a 2-1 loss to Russia in group play last Tuesday.

Vancouver Paralympic gold medalist and goaltender Steve Cash, U.S. Army veteran Rico Roman and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Josh Sweeney lead Team USA. Rounding out the "Bravo Delta Line" alongside Roman and Sweeney is U.S. Marine Corps veteran Paul Schaus. The three are all Armed Forces veterans and Purple Heart recipients. Also headlining Team USA is the "Youth Line," which has combined to score six goals and features 16-year old breakout star Declan Farmer; 15-year old Brody Roybal; and 21-year old Josh Pauls.

Russia looks to add to the 25 gold medals it has already earned (64 total medals) with a gold in its first-ever sled hockey appearance. Goaltender Vladimir Kamantcev aims to extend his dominance on home ice after shutting out Norway in the semifinals, and defeating Team USA 2-1 in group play.

Calling Team USA-Russia will be veteran Olympic and NHL play-by-play voice Dave Strader. He will be joined by analyst and 2002 sled hockey gold medalist Kip St. Germaine.
