But seven years after the fact, Todd Nicholson sees Vancouver as a victory of a different kind in his new role as chef de mission for the 2018 Canadian Paralympic team. I took home from those Games that I would never, ever have to explain what sledge hockey was again. Worth noting... Charles Hamelin is a four-time Olympic medallist, but the 32-year-old is adapting a new mental game plan for the world championships this weekend in the Netherlands. And while Nicholson and his team will wait to formulate an objective in terms of medals, early signs are encouraging. Canada reached the podium 11 times at the 2017 para-alpine world championships and seven times at the world para-Nordic championships.
