The United States women's hockey team won the gold medal in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. They defeated Canada in overtime 2-1. The Canadians were leading 1-0 with under 3 minutes left in the game before Hilary Knight scored a backwards between the legs goal to tie the game. Megan Keller won the game in overtime on a beautiful goal that just slid past the Canadian goalie.
It was an absolute thrilling game. I didn't watch the first 2 periods because of school, so I turned the game on when I got home. I was frustrated that the US couldn't score and I thought there was no way they were going to win. I am so glad I was wrong. Knight's goal was absolutely beautiful and shocking. I was very impressed by the way she was able to score without looking at the net. It was beautiful. When the game winning goal was scored, I jumped out of my seat. I was so happy and fired up.
The US men's hockey team will attempt to do the same thing, as they play Slovakia in the semi-finals tomorrow afternoon. We may very well get a US-Canada rematch. I will be happy if we do.
