"The U.S. men's hockey team defeated Canada 2-1 in the gold medal game at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics on Sunday, which marked the 46th anniversary of the "Miracle on Ice." Jack Hughes scored the overtime winner for Team USA in 3-on-3 play to clinch the gold."
""This is all about our country," Hughes said. "I love the USA, I love our teammates. ... I'm so proud to be American today.""
"Matt Boldy opened the scoring for Team USA just six minutes into this year's gold medal game. He broke through the Canadian defense and beat goalie Jordan Binnington for the Americans' first goal - and first shot - of the game. Canada finally got on the board with less than two minutes remaining in the second period when Cale Makar drilled a shot past American goalie Connor Hellebuyck."
