The United States women's hockey team is golden. Megan Keller put home the game-winning goal in the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics gold-medal contest against rival Canada in overtime, placing Team USA on top in a 2-1 thriller on Thursday.

Canada, with exceptions in 1998 and 2018, has owned the sport of women’s hockey since it was added to the Olympics, winning six of eight gold medals. It belongs to America now, though, with a young U.S. roster that is poised to dominate for years to come.
