The United States completed an unprecedented hockey sweep at the Milan Cortina Games, winning both Olympic and Paralympic gold medals. Three weeks after defeating Canada in the Olympic final, the Americans beat their northern neighbors 6-2 in the Paralympic championship game, becoming the first nation to achieve this double triumph.

Jack Wallace led the way with a hat trick, while captain Josh Pauls secured his fifth consecutive Paralympic title. The victory marks the U.S.'s sixth Paralympic gold in seven Winter Games, cementing their dominance in Para ice hockey. While the Olympic men's team celebrated its first gold since the 1980 Miracle on Ice, the Paralympic squad has established an even more impressive dynasty.

A record 10,755 fans packed the arena for the final, surpassing the previous mark set when the U.S. faced host Italy in the opening match. China claimed bronze with a 3-2 comeback win over Czechia, recovering from an early two-goal deficit. The attendance figures highlight growing interest in Para ice hockey, though the sport still lacks a women's division at the Paralympics due to its classification as an open-gender event.
