American hero Jack Hughes won it in overtime to break Canadian hearts and secure their first gold medal since ‘The Miracle on Ice’ in 1980.
However, both teams’ journeys home have been significantly disrupted by a major snowstorm striking the Northeast.
Both Team USA and Canada were meant to fly back to New York City but that will no longer be the case.
