It’s academic that Team United States and Team Canada will play for gold in men’s hockey. Canada defeated the U.S. in 2002 and 2010. This year is the best chance for USA Hockey to slay that dragon and win the Olympics for the first time since the 1980 Lake Placid Games.

Caroline “KK” Harvey named tournament MVP.

The United States women finishing the Olympics on high notes.

Can lightning strike twice for Team USA? I'm sure the men were watching the women strike gold knowing the opportunity that's ahead of them. Step 1 is Team Slovakia on Friday www.nhl.com/news/topic/o...

USA 🗣️ USA 🗣️ USA 🗣️

What a day. First, women's hockey fought back to achieve glory. Then the Golden Child lit up the arena with enough pizazz for Donna Summer to applaud from heaven 🇺🇸

Alyssa Liu, the coup de grace 🥇🇺🇸

Second-biggest play of overtime: Daryl Watts took the puck from Abbey Murphy in Canada’s zone and headed for a breakaway. Murphy stayed with Watts prevented her from taking a shot. That was 2:21 into OT 🇺🇸

Give credit to Team Switzerland, the bronze winners. They’re closing the gap behind the United States and Canada 🇨🇭

The United States and Canada shine on an Olympic stage hours after ESPN announces “Women’s Sports Sundays.” A gold-medal day for women’s athletics and the best is yet to come.

Laila Edwards made history as the first Black woman to represent the USA at the Olympics. She assists on the tying goal from Hilary Knight to send this game to overtime. Now, she’s the first Black woman to win an Olympic Gold medal with Team USA’s women’s hockey team.

Hilary Knight set Olympic records and won another gold medal — one day after getting engaged to Brittany Bowe. That will last a lifetime.

See you at Madison Square Garden, Cap 🫡🇺🇸

Team Canada plays like champions. Be proud 🇨🇦

Megan Keller. Ballgame! 🥇🇺🇸

Win or lose, these athletes are playing like champions 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Hilary Knight’s 15 Olympic goals are the most by an American woman and man 🇺🇸

Hilary Knight from Laila Edwards and Megan Keller at 17:56 of the third. Can Team USA do it?

Hiliary Knight: History maker. Tie game 🇺🇸

The first taste of adversity for the United States

Team USA and Team Canada tied 0-0 after one period, a not-so-friendly reminder that gold for the U.S. is not 100 percent guaranteed.

Aerin Frankel already busier compared to previous games and coming up big, a good sign for Team USA.

Canada loves Mitch Marner again. Jordan Binnington is Canada's No. 1. End of story.

This is a whole lotta fun.

Martin Necas is playing at an MVP-caliber level. More power to Czechia -- and the Colorado Avalanche if he takes this into the stretch run of the NHL regular season.

My my

The #mnwild have an abundance of talent at goalie. Samuel Hlavaj and Team Slovakia are a compelling story and have a chance at the country's first Olympic medal with NHL participation. It won bronze at the 2022 Beijing Olympics and made the semis at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

The dominance of the United States women at the Olympics:

Czechia defeats Denmark 3-2 and will play Canada tomorrow (10:40 a.m. ET; Peacock, USA, ICI Tele, CBC Gem, CBC, TSN). Anaheim Ducks goalie Lukas Dostal with some big saves in the final minutes.

Coming up next: (8) Czechia vs. (9) Denmark, 10:40 a.m. (Peacock, ICI Tele, CBC Gem, SN) (7) Sweden vs. (10) Latvia -- 3:10 p.m. (Peacock, USA, ICI Tele, CBC Gem, CBC)

Slovakia advances to play Germany with a 5-1 win against France. Switzerland advances to play Finland with a 3-0 win against Italy.

Switzerland getting closer to playing Finland in the quarterfinals, where chances for an upset are good the way #NJDevils forwards Nico Hischier and Timo Meier are playing. Italy goalie Damian Clara's stock in the Ducks organization has skyrocketed.

Superlative goaltending the story of Switzerland-Italy.

The United States and Canada women will play for gold for the seventh time in eight Olympics on Thursday (1:10 p.m. ET; USA, Peacock). Hats off to Switzerland and its quest for bronze.

Win or lose, Hockey Switzerland can hold its head high 🇨🇭

If you pass Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser in Canada hockey annals, you're unquestionably one of the all-time greats #MPP 🇨🇦

Marie-Philip Poulin has scored the most goals in women’s Olympic hockey history! With her goal against Switzerland in the semifinals, she has officially passed Hayley Wickenheiser in all-time goals at the Olympics 👏 #MilanoCortina2026

Captain Clutch has returned 🇨🇦

#RIP Robert Duvall, age 95, lived a full, extraordinary life.

Team USA moving through the women's tournament like Secretariat, outscoring opponents 31-1 through six games and not allowing a goal in 331:23. The gold medal game against either Canada or Switzerland is Thursday at 1:10 p.m. ET on USA Network and Peacock in the United States.

Laila Edwards to Kathryn Tappen: "We're just having a lot of fun." 🇺🇸

Team USA will play for gold Thursday after defeating Team Sweden 5-0. It's outscored opponents 33-1 while not allowing a goal in more than 16 periods. Team Canada and Team Switzerland skate at 3:10 p.m. ET.

Edwards now gets an assist on what was changed to Kendall Coyle Schofield's goal. Edwards and Megan Keller have been dynamite as the top defense pair. Keller plays for the Boston Fleet. Edwards isn't too far behind the PWHL. Now 5-0 Team USA with three goals in 2:27.
