VIDEO: Local Man Scores Huge Goal For Team USA In Olympics

A hockey player who grew up not far from Reston and Herndon in nearby Vienna made NoVa proud by scoring a big goal for Team USA against Slovakia Monday.

Garrett Roe's goal in the third period for the U.S. Men's Hockey Team put the game out of reach for Slovakia, and Team USA will advance to the quarterfinal after a disappointing start in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Roe has now scored two goals in the Olympics, scoring the first in an overtime loss to Slovenia. You can watch video of his latest goal, embedded at the bottom of this post.

Before competing in the Olympics, Roe, 29, has played as a forward for the EV Zug in the Swiss National League. He was selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and spent time in the minor league among other professional teams. He began his hockey career locally, playing youth hockey for the Washington Little Capitals and Reston Raiders, which his father Larry helped found. Roe lives in the Vienna area during the summer

The U.S. team will take on the Czech Republic in the quarterfinal Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 10:10 p.m. ET on CNBC and live streamed on NBCOlympics.com. Other teams advancing to the quarterfinal are Norway, Olympic Athletes from Russia, Canada, Finland, Sweden and Germany.

What a goal by @TeamUSA!
