MILAN ~ In a dramatic finish worthy of Olympic history, the U.S. men’s hockey team defeated arch-rival Canada 2–1 in overtime to claim the gold medal at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Games, the team’s first Olympic title in 46 years and only its third ever. The victory, sealed by an electrifying overtime goal from Jack Hughes, came on a date long etched in American hockey lore: Feb. 22, the anniversary of the famed 1980 “Miracle on Ice.”
