About this listen
🎙️ Taking Chances – Why Not You?
🎤 Andy Yohe – He’s a living testament to resilience, reinvention, and the power of sport to heal and elevate. Born with hockey in his blood, he started on the roller rinks of Bettendorf, Iowa as a member of the Young Guns.
But in 1994, everything changed—an accident left him without both legs. Most would’ve called it the end. But for Yohe, it was just the beginning of a new kind of fight.
Fast forward to 2003: he’s back on the ice, this time with the RIC Blackhawks, and his scoring touch is undeniable.
By 2006, he’s representing Team USA in Torino, Italy, helping secure a bronze 🥉 at the Paralympic Winter Games.
Four years later in Vancouver? Gold 🏆🥇.
And in 2014, after a three-season break, he returns—not just as a player, but as captain of the U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team, leading them to another gold in Sochi. 🏆🥇🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Three Paralympic medals. Two World Championship podiums. And a legacy that stretches far beyond the rink.
Andy Yohe (thank you!)
