If you didn’t get enough of USA vs. Canada during the Winter Olympics, there’s one more matchup to come thanks to the ongoing Milan Cortina Winter Paralympics. Team USA will be taking on Canada in the gold medal game for Paralympics sled hockey.

The game will find Team USA looking to keep an incredible winning streak alive, as USA has won four consecutive Paralympic gold medals and five of the last six. USA and Canada have combined to win every Paralympic sled hockey tournament this century.

Team USA is led by captain and four-time Paralympic gold medalist Josh Pauls, along with all-time Paralympic sled hockey scorer Declan Farmer. After defeating Italy, Germany, and China in the preliminary round by a combined score of 34-2, USA beat Czechia, 6-1, in the semifinal on Friday.

Team Canada is led by three-time Paralympic medalist Tyler McGregor and four-time world medalist Auren Halbert, as they enter the match undefeated. The Canadians beat Slovakia, Japan, and Czechia in the preliminary round by a combined score of 26-1 and defeated China, 4-2, in the semifinal on Friday.

Looking to recent history, Team USA defeated Canada in the gold medal game at the last two Paralympic Winter Games (2022 and 2018).

Sunday’s gold medal game will be called by veteran play-by-play commentator Chris Vosters and three-time Paralympic sled hockey medalist Taylor Lipsett (analyst), who was a part of two gold medal-winning teams (2010 Vancouver and 2014 Sochi).

In an interesting twist of Olympics fate, Sunday’s game will be the same matchup as both men’s and women’s gold medal ice hockey games at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics in February — which were won by Team USA in both events. The men’s Olympic gold medal game was watched by 20.7 million viewers, while the women’s Olympic gold medal game is the most-watched women’s hockey game on record, with an average of 5.3 million viewers.
