Sunday’s men’s ice hockey final live stream at the 2026 Winter Olympics sees the curtain brought down on this year’s games with one of its most-anticipated events – a rematch of the thrilling women’s final between USA vs Canada just a few days ago.
Now the pair go head-to-head in a final between two undefeated nations. Having notched up 36 goals between them in the group stage, they haven’t had the playoffs all their own way. It took Canada a third period onslaught and a last minute goal from Colorado Avalanche’s to Nathan MacKinnon down champions Finland in the semifinals. While USA were taken to overtime by Sweden in the quarters, before Minnesota Wild’s Quinn Hughes hit his match-winning shot.
