Andy Yohe and Kevin McKee helped lead sled hockey team to victory over Russia
Washington, D.C. - Congressman Dave Loebsack today applauded two Quad City area Paralympians for their gold medal win in sled hockey at the Paralympics held in Sochi, Russia. Sled hockey team members Andy Yohe of Bettendorf and Kevin McKee of Davenport helped lead the team throughout the games and win the gold medal in a match against Russia. Both Yohe and McKee began playing sled hockey at the Quad City Sled Hockey Association (TQCSHA). The TQCSHA, which was founded by Joe and Sue Lambert, gives people living with disabilities in the Quad Cities area a chance to pursue their dreams
"I join with everyone in the Quad Cities in being tremendously proud of Andy and Kevin's achievements. Their gold medal win and selection as members of Team USA are a testament to their outstanding character, hard-work, and determination. This is an impressive accomplishment and truly an inspiration to people of all abilities.
"I also want to thank Joe and Sue Lambert of Davenport, who founded the Quad City Sled Hockey Association and have given so many people living with disabilities a chance to succeed in sport and life."
