Before you see the details, decide how you will remember the 2-1 overtime victory on Feb. 19 at the 2006 Milano Cortina Games.
Will it be Hilary Knight’s nifty deflection for a 1-1 tie with 2:04 left in the third period? It made her the all-time U.S. leader in goals (15) and points (33).
Will it be Megan Keller’s slick moves that won it after four minutes, seven seconds of overtime? It gave the United States its second gold medal in the last eight years.
Will be the wild, joyous on-ice celebration by players draped in flags with precious metal dangling from their necks? U.S. women won gold for the third time (1998, 2018, 2026), topping the U.S. men (1960, 1980).
The first full-page commemorative print features Team USA celebrating on the ice after Keller’s golden goal. It has U-S-SLAY! as its big headline.
The second full-page commemorative print celebrates Knight’s fifth and (she says) final Olympics. It has CAPTAIN AMERICA as its big headline.
Page prints come on high-quality art paper, in a variety of sizes and start at $29 (plus shipping and handling) through the USA TODAY Store. For more details, go to usatodaystore.com and search “Olympic.”
These page prints also will make great gifts for the hockey fans in your life. Maybe they will inspire someone the same way years ago Knight, now 36, inspired teammate Laila Edwards, barely 22. Edwards, the first Black Olympian for Team USA, assisted on Knight’s game-tying goal.
And because Moms, Dads and Grads season will be upon us soon, why not check something off the to-do list early, eh?
