MILAN (AP) — Three of hockey’s international powerhouses are in the semifinals at the Milan Cortina Olympics after getting a scare at the start of the knockout round. The United States, Canada and Finland all won in overtime in the quarterfinals to move one victory away from playing for the gold medal.

U.S. officials are threatening major changes to a trade agreement with Mexico and Canada that could upend the way business is done and leave Canada on the outs.

MILAN -- When Niko Mikkola, Anton Lundell and Eetu Luostarinen take the ice for Team Finland in the semifinals of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 at Santagiulia Arena on Friday, they will bring with them a wealth of big-game experience.

IIHF rules require that every team must dress a captain at the Olympics. If so, then it's pretty clear that Canada will give Connor McDavid the 'C.'

With the women's gold medal game looming and the men's semifinals set, here are the statistical storylines of note so far at the Olympics.

The Canadians narrowly made it thanks to an overtime winner from Mitch Marner, but Edmonton Oilers star center Connor McDavid wasn't in the mood to let things slide for the Czechs.

Canada survived one of the biggest upset bids in any sport of the Milan Cortina Olympics by defeating Czechia 4-3 in overtime. It was a thrilling finish, with Ondrej Palat giving Czechia a 3-2 lead with under eight minutes left in the third period on a transition rush after Czechia got away with having six players on the ice in the defensive zone.
