It’s going to be an early morning for many across North America who will be waking up to watch the U.S. take on Canada in the men’s hockey gold-medal game on Sunday at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics.

Team USA will be looking to win its first gold medal in men’s hockey since the “Miracle on Ice” in 1980 and third overall. Standing in their way is a top-seeded Canada team seeking its 10th gold medal and first since 2014.

 Johnny Gaudreau was working hard to make the U.S. team heading to the 2026 Winter Olympics. He and brother Matthew watched the event growing up, always with eyes on playing in it.

“It was their dream,” Jane Gaudreau said of her sons.

Johnny and Matthew died on Aug. 29, 2024, when they were struck by an SUV while riding bicycles near their hometown in New Jersey on the eve of their sister Katie’s wedding. Their deaths shocked the hockey community, and they have been honored since by retired numbers, a memorial 5K and more.

The final day of the 2026 Winter Olympics is here. Follow below for live updates.

It’s been gold medals galore for Team USA at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.

After Team USA won gold in the mixed team aerials final on Saturday, the nation made personal history with its most golds won in a single Winter Olympics.

The total is 11 across women’s, men’s and mixed team sports, ranging from figure skating to hockey and more. The U.S. won’t finish with the most gold medals as Norway has continued its usual dominance in the Winter Games, but it’s still a significant achievement.

Olympic medals can offer significant meaning to victorious athletes who put in a lifetime’s work for the chance to win one.

But what about coaches who can play a significant role in helping an athlete reach their dreams?

After Team USA women’s hockey took down Canada to win gold at the Milan Cortina Games, some spectators were stunned to realize head coach John Wroblewski didn’t have a medal draped around his neck.

Eileen Gu is golden once again.

The 22-year-old freestyle skiing superstar earned gold in the halfpipe event at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics on Sunday. China’s Li Fanghui won silver and Great Britain’s Zoe Atkin won bronze.

Gu is now the most decorated freestyle skier — man or woman — in Olympic history with six medals.
