The live broadcast of Sunday’s men’s ice hockey final at the 2026 Winter Olympics sees the curtain fall on this year’s games with one of its most anticipated events: a rematch of the thrilling women’s final between the United States and Canada just a few days ago.
The two men now face each other in a final between two undefeated nations. After scoring 36 goals between them in the group stage, they didn’t experience the playoffs their way. It took Canada a third-period attack and a last-minute goal from the Colorado Avalanche’s Nathan MacKinnon against the Finnish champions in the semifinals. While the United States was pushed to overtime by Sweden in the quarters, before Quinn Hughes of the Minnesota Wild hit his game-winning shot.
