The United States men's hockey team defeated Slovakia 6-2 in the semifinal of the 2026 Winter Olympics, advancing to the gold medal game against Canada. Jack Hughes scored twice for the Americans, who controlled the puck throughout the match at Santagiulia arena in Milan. The win marks the first U.S. appearance in an Olympic hockey final since 2010.
Sophomore goaltender Adam Gajan of the University of Minnesota Duluth has been selected to represent Slovakia at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, becoming the only current NCAA player on any national roster. The 21-year-old from Poprad, Slovakia, will miss four games for the Bulldogs during the tournament. Gajan's inclusion highlights the scarcity of goaltending options for his country despite the return of NHL players to the Games.
