head coach david kahl Said On Friday, his team played great at USA Hockey. “It's a joy for them.”
“They were focused on coming into this game and doing their best for the last game of the tournament, and I thought they did that. It's a great honor to be a part of the winning team.” added Karl.
The fight against the Swedes was paused for a brief fight of a different kind, as a frustrated Swedish national team briefly got into a fist fight with several Americans.

But Sweden was unable to take advantage, and Friday's victory gave Team USA its sixth gold medal in the U-20 international tournament. The previous championships were in 2021, 2017, 2013, 2010, and 2004.
Many X users were thrilled to see young Americans display such passionate patriotism.
And this is why no one cared about the football player anymore.

Congratulations to Team USA!
I'm Canadian and I was so happy to see them representing their country, singing songs and appreciating the win (even if our team didn't make it to the final four)— SAE (@SueCresFair) January 7, 2024
It's easy to see why they are a winning team. Even though they sing poorly, it's clear they're playing for each other. that!It's the mark of a champion

It's great to see young Americans proudly flying the flag and singing the national anthem. You don't see that much anymore. Good luck, gentlemen of W.

When I was growing up, it was common, almost like it was expected, but now it's rare, almost abnormal. Let's return the story.

The hearts of the people who witnessed the overflowing patriotism were certainly warmed.Maybe that's the reason ESPN cut it off. From the previous event when the players started singing and refused to show the boys singing in honor of our country?
