Rob Armstrong (born September 12, 1996)[1] is a Canadian ice sledge hockey player.

Career

He represented Canada at the 2018 and 2022 Winter Paralympics, and won silver medals.[2] after helping his team win Gold in 2017 at World Para Ice Hockey Championships. Armstrong is a three-time silver medalist at World Sledge Hockey Challenge.[3]

He competed at the 2026 Winter Paralympics and won a silver medal, Canada's third consecutive silver medal in Para ice hockey at the Winter Paralympics.[4]

Personal life

His disability is due to a childhood infection of the spine. He began playing para ice hockey a few years later after he fell in love with the sport while playing goaltender in road hockey with his friends.[3]
