Team USA’s success was built on consistency and skill demonstrated throughout the tournament, where they defeated Italy, Germany, China, and Czechia to reach the gold-medal match.

This victory added to Team USA’s medal count at the 2026 Games, marking their 13th Paralympic gold since the event began on March 6. The United States finished the Paralympics with 24 total medals, including five silver and six bronze. China led the medal tally with 44 and 15 golds, but the U.S. continued to excel on ice, showing strength in sled hockey and reinforcing its leadership in Paralympic winter sports.
The triumph in Milan highlighted the teamwork, resilience, and skill that define Team USA and cemented its legacy in international sled hockey.
