After winning its first Olympic gold medal in over 40 years, Team USA hockey returns to the ice this month for the IIHF World Championships.
The squad arrives in Switzerland riding the momentum of their historic victory in Milan, looking to prove that their Olympic triumph was the beginning of a new era of American dominance rather than a singular moment of magic. The roster features a compelling mix of the gold-medal core, including Matthew Tkachuk, and fresh reinforcements from the NHL ranks. While the Olympic victory was defined by gritty defensive play and timely goaltending, the World Championship stage offers a faster, more offensive-minded environment where the Americans’ elite young speed will be on full display.
Standing in their way is a gauntlet of traditional powers—including a vengeful Canada and a disciplined Swedish side—all looking to knock the reigning Olympic champions off their pedestal. For Team USA, the mission is simple but daunting: validate their "best in the world" status by capturing a gold medal double that hasn't been achieved by the program in the modern era. Here is everything you need to know about Team USA's schedule and roster.
