Former UConn player Steve Emt, paralyzed in a 1995 drunk driving crash, competes for Team USA in wheelchair curling at the 2026 Winter Paralympics.
Steve Emt, a former UConn walk-on basketball player, became paralyzed in a 1995 drunk driving crash at 25, initially hiding the truth before publicly sharing his story to warn teens.
Seventeen years later, he began wheelchair curling after being encouraged by a former curler in Cape Cod.
Balancing his teaching job with training, Emt represented Team USA in eight world championships and now competes in the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Paralympics, where he and teammate Laura Dwyer have won two of their first three matches.
