'Jack Hughes is the golden boy' - USA beat Canada in overtime
The United States won the men's Olympic ice hockey gold medal for the first time in 46 years by beating neighbours Canada 2-1 in a sensational conclusion to the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The final gold medal of the Games was sealed by Jack Hughes in overtime after the USA withstood pressure from the dominant Canadians throughout most of the match, goalkeeper Connor Hellebuyck having the game of his life.
It is the first time since the 'Miracle on Ice' at Lake Placid in 1980 that the USA's men have won Olympic gold.
And it is the first time the Americans have won the competition outside of their home country.
