US EditionWestern New Yorkers React to Olympic Gold Medal Win
Jack Hughes scored the overtime winner as USA goalie Connor Hellebuyck made 41 saves to secure the men’s Olympic hockey gold medal over Canada.
- On Sunday, the United States men's hockey team beat Canada 2-1 in overtime to win Olympic gold at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, with Jack Hughes scoring the winner.

- Despite being outshot 40 to 25, Hellebuyck's 41 saves and successful penalty kills kept the U.S. alive, with Canada having multiple power plays.
- Fans and officials reacted quickly: many Canadian fans mourned the 2-1 overtime defeat online, while Prime Minister Mark Carney congratulated Team Canada and Ontario allowed early alcohol sales for game-day viewings.
- Personal sacrifice and team-level returns framed the broader significance beyond the final score, as Jack Hughes scored despite losing front teeth and seven Florida Panthers players plus three staff earned medals.
