Team USA beat Canada in a thrilling Hockey game for gold.
American Jack Hughes scored the game-winning goal in overtime.
It’s been exactly forty-six years since the men’s United States hockey team last won Olympic gold. On Sunday, that streak was conquered in a tense, overtime victory against Canada.
For most of the game, it wasn’t clear that the United States would prevail after the team spent much of the game in the defensive zone — even after American Matt Brody scored the first goal six minutes into the first period.
But despite holding a 1-0 lead, the U.S. couldn’t seem to get a grip on the game and seize control, relying on key saves from goaltender, Connor Hellebuyck. With two minutes left in the second period, Canada’s Cale Maker managed to get one past Hellebuyck, tying the game 1-1.

But less than two minutes in a thrilling 3-on-3 sudden-death round, American Jack Hughes scored the game-winning shot and captured the gold medal.
Trump congratulated the team in multiple Truth Social posts.
Trump said, “WHAT A GAME,” and “LOTS OF WINNING!”
