Can’t stop thinking about Team USA’s women capturing Olympic gold? We can’t either! Relive the gold medal game with five highlights starring the seven Minnesota natives.

Congratulations to Lee Stecklein (Roseville), Kelly Pannek (Plymouth), Gigi Marvin (Warroad), Hannah Brandt (Vadnais Heights), Sidney Morin (Minnetonka), Dani Cameranesi (Plymouth), Maddie Rooney (Andover), head coach Robb Stauber (Duluth), assistant coach Brett Strot (Maple Grove) and the rest of Team USA!

Sidney Gets the Scoring Started

Minnetonka’s Sidney Morin helps Team USA jump to a 1-0 lead in the first period. With Hilary Knight parked in front of the net, Morin rifles a low, hard shot from the point, and Knight redirects it home.

Don’t Pannek

Down by 1 with just over 6 minutes to play in regulation, Plymouth native Kelly Pannek gathers the puck after Maddie Rooney denies a Canadian odd-man rush, and fires a perfect stretch pass to Monique Lamoureux-Morando, who ties the game and sends it to overtime.

Gigi’s Got This

After Rooney makes the opening save on Team Canada’s Natalie Spooner, Gigi Marvin is selected as Team USA’s first shooter. She didn’t let Warroad down and gives the U.S. a crucial shootout goal.

Golden Moment

After Jocelyn Lamoureux-Davidson’s electrifying shootout goal, Rooney needed to make one more save. Canada’s Meghan Agosta faked a forehand shot, pulled the puck to her left trying to open up the five-hole. Rooney closes the door and sweeps the puck away from the goal to clinch gold. The bench empties and all of the players swarm their golden goaltender.

O Say Can You See

Team USA and its seven Minnesotans receive their gold medals and then serenade the arena – and the world – with the National Anthem!
