The United States women’s hockey team has a date with Flavor Flav in Las Vegas in July to celebrate its gold medal victory from the Milan Cortina Olympics. The rapper posted a note on his X account announcing he’s hosting a “She Got Game” event from July 16-19. The post says the event was being held to honor the women’s hockey team and other female athletes. A publicist for Flavor Flav confirmed the event. The women’s players accepted the invitation without input from USA Hockey, a person familiar with discussions told The Associated Press.
U.S. hockey player Brady Tkachuk says a White House TikTok video falsely paints him as insulting Canadians. Tkachuk calls the clip clearly fake. He says the audio and lip movement do not match. The video uses fabricated audio that includes a bleeped slur about Canadians. Tkachuk says he would never use that language. He also denies shouting “close the northern border” during Team USA’s phone call with President Donald Trump after Sunday’s Olympic gold medal win over Canada. The team has returned from Italy and is resuming the NHL season.

Officials say a third victim has died from injuries sustained during a deadly shooting at a youth hockey game in Rhode Island. Pawtucket police said Wednesday that Gerald Dorgan has died. He had been in critical condition following last week’s shooting at an ice rink. His daughter, Rhonda Dorgan, and adult grandson, Aidan Dorgan, were also killed in the shooting. Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien says he was heartbroken that another person has died because of the shooting. Police have identified the shooter as 56-year-old Robert Dorgan. The shooter died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Robert Dorgan’s ex-wife was Rhonda Dorgan and adult son was Aidan Dorgan.
No miracle needed. The United States is atop the hockey world for the first time in nearly a half-century. Jack Hughes scored the winning goal in overtime, and the U.S. defeated Canada 2-1 in the gold medal final at the Milan Cortina Olympics on Sunday, flipping the script on the international stage and claiming the country’s third men’s title at the Games and the first since the “Miracle on Ice” on 1980.
Some members of Team USA are dedicating the Olympic gold medal win over Canada to the late Johnny Gaudreau and his family. The NHL player was on track to make the team but he and his brother Matthew were killed in August 2024 after an SUV hit them while biking. Dylan Larkin and others carried his jersey onto the ice after the winning goal. Gaudreau’s two oldest children also came onto the ice.

The U.S beats Canada 2-1 in overtime to win its first men’s hockey championship at the Olympics since 1980.
The U.S. men's hockey team will play for gold against Canada and it has honored Johnny Gaudreau’s memory along the way. Gaudreau and his brother Matthew died on Aug. 29, 2024, when an SUV hit them as they rode bikes in New Jersey. Team officials say Johnny would have been on this roster. A blue No. 13 jersey hangs in the locker room beside Matthew’s No. 21. Teammates say it keeps them close.
Nathan MacKinnon scored the go-ahead goal with 35.2 seconds left to help Canada survive another scare at the Olympics, rallying to beat Finland 3-2 in the semifinals and advance to the men’s gold-medal game. Shea Theodore tied it just past the midway point of the third period after Sam Reinhart started the comeback from down two goals. Canada will face either the U.S. or Slovakia in the final on Sunday. Sidney Crosby did not play against Finland, but Canada has not ruled its captain out of returning.
