The Winter Olympics are always full of surprises, and this year’s were no different. Beginning on Feb. 6 and ending on Feb. 22, a record 23.5 million Americans watched as the United States team accumulated 33 medals, with two of the last five coming from both hockey teams.

The U.S. women’s hockey team received their 3rd title in history, the last being in 2018. The team consists of 16 Professional Women’s Hockey League players and seven NCAA players, all led by their captain, Hilary Knight, and Head Coach John Wroblewski.

The team put on a dominant performance with a goal differential of 33-2 throughout their Olympic run. Aerin Frankel, the team’s star goalie, was a major factor in their historic run, saving 127 shots over the course of seven games. Thirty of the 127 saves came from their gold medal game, which they won 2-1 in an overtime thriller against Canada.

The U.S. men’s hockey team was the last recipient of a gold medal in this year’s winter Olympics, with their last being from 1980. This year’s team was composed entirely of 25 National Hockey League players, all led by their captain, Auston Matthews, and Head Coach Mike Sullivan.

The team put on a historic performance with a goal differential of 26-9 throughout their Olympic run. Men’s goalie Connor Hellebuyck was a key contributor in their fierce Olympic run, saving 131 shots over the course of the seven games. Forty-one of the 131 saves came from their gold medal game, which they won 2-1 in an overtime thriller against Canada.

The teams’ accomplishments mark the first time in history that both U.S. hockey teams won gold at the same Olympics, making the U.S. the second country in history to achieve this feat.
