Team USA's men's hockey squad arrived in Milan and held its first practice on Sunday ahead of the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Forward Jack Hughes participated fully despite a recent lower-body injury, while Auston Matthews was named captain with Charlie McAvoy and Matthew Tkachuk as alternates. The group, bolstered by a strong defensive core, aims to end a 46-year gold medal drought.
