Team USA star forward Brady Tkachuk expressed a strong rivalry with Team Canada ahead of the gold medal match at the 2026 Winter Olympics, describing it as filled with “hatred.” Tkachuk noted that for many players, this game is the biggest of their careers, especially after the U.S. lost to Canada in the 4 Nations tournament finals last year. The gold medal match will take place on Sunday at 8:10 a.m. ET, with the U.S. men aiming for their first gold since 1980.
