The women's tournament brings high stakes, incredible talent and one of the best rivalries in sports to Milan. Who will come out on top?

MILAN (AP) — As talented and deep as the Americans appear to be, coach John Wroblewski wasn’t ready to accept his team being considered the favorite a day before the women’s hockey tournament opens at the Milan Cortina Games.

The 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics are just around the corner, with events like curling and women’s hockey getting underway in just a few short hours, even before the Opening Ceremony takes place.

Captain Hilary Knight will be chasing a second Olympic gold medal in her fifth and final tournament; she is the only five-time Olympian in U.S. women’s hockey history. Should the U.S. win a medal in Milan, Knight will also become the most decorated American women’s hockey player.
