The United States men’s hockey team broke a 46-year old curse on Sunday by winning the Olympic gold medal over Team Canada. Team USA hadn’t won gold since 1980, a run that included the famous “Miracle on Ice” game.
Understandably, the U.S. players were full of emotions after Jack Hughes scored the game-winning goal in overtime. The U.S. hadn’t won gold in their lifetimes—it seemed miraculous for them to finally win that gold medal.
