US men’s hockey defeats Canada. Wins Olympic gold medal

Monday, February 23, 2026

MILAN " This wasn't a miracle. It was a moment of magic. Forty-six years to the day after a bunch of unheralded amateurs stunned the heavily favored Soviet Union en route to winning Olympic gold, the U.S. men's hockey team engineered another epic victory. The Americans won a battle of the sport's superpowers on Sunday, toppling longtime nemesis Canada 2-1 in overtime to win their country's first Olympic gold in men's hockey since the famed 1980 "Miracle on Ice." Jack Hughes scored the decisive goal, ripping a shot past Jordan Binnington less than three minutes into 3-versus-3 overtime

The US men's hockey team won gold but ended up being the biggest losers at the Olympics.

Unfortunately, no. The night before I had a massive case of insomnia for some unknown reason and I was trying to sneak in an hour of sleep while the game was being broadcast.

Jack Hughes not only scored the winning goal, he did it after having several teeth broken/knocked out during the game.

His thoughts to reporters after the game were graceful and patriotic.

I was up and watching the minute it came on.
I also watched the women's hockey win.
This was just outstanding stuff.
The women tied and had to go to sudden death - and the US Women won!
Then the men repeated - sudden deathh, and the US Men won!
Frikken outstanding effort to all teams, and Hellebuyck was unbelievable!
Jack Hughes! Get's high-sticked, loses a tooth, and scores the winning goal in overtime!
I love that his older brother Quinn was on the team with him and was there for all this.

Hellebuyck was unbelievable!

He sure was! The goal he stopped on the edge of his stick will go down in history.

BTW - Both Quinn and Jack was born where I was born. Their dad was the assistant coach for our NHL team. That made it even more personal for me.
