UNITED STATES PLAYERS CELEBRATE AT THE END OF THE GAME STORY: U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were in the crowd at Milano Rho Ice Hockey Arena as the Americans began their gold medal bid with a 5-1 win over the Czech Republic in the women's Olympic ice hockey competition on Thursday (February 6). Vance was with his wife, Usha and their two children as the Americans lived up to their favorites tag with a resounding win in Group A. Alex Carpenter put the U.S. ahead in the 16th minute of the first period with a power play goal, redirecting Megan Keller's shot. Joy Dunne doubled the lead in the fourth minute of the second period, converting Tessa Janecke's perfect assist. The American fans were back on their feet celebrating just over a minute later, when Hayley Scamurra slipped her shot through the legs of the Czech defender. Following a successful penalty kill, the Czech Republic pulled one back after Barbora Jurickova returned from the penalty box to immediately score from close range in the ninth minute of the second period. U.S. captain Hilary Knight, in her fifth Olympics, restored her side's three-goal cushion two minutes from the end of the second period, and Scamurra netted her second in the fifth minute of the final period.
