Biographical Information

Noah Grove was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, in his left leg when he was four years old and had his leg amputated right after he turned five. Grove played soccer, baseball and lacrosse with a prosthetic leg for most of his childhood before trying adaptive sports and sled hockey at age 11. Within six years of trying the sport through the Bennett Blazers program in Baltimore, he would make the U.S. national Sled Hockey team.

At age 18, Grove made his Paralympic debut at the Paralympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018, winning a gold medal. At 2019 World Para Ice Hockey Championships, he was named the U.S. Player of the Game in their preliminary round win over Canada. Grove would win his second Paralympic gold medal at the Paralympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. Because of Grove's strengths of moving the puck and creating offense for Team USA he has switched from forward to defense to better play to his strengths.

Coming from a soccer family where his father and brother both played at the Division III level, Grove still enjoys playing amputee soccer in the offseason and at the age of 15 played for Team USA at the 2014 Amputee World Cup of Soccer.
