Day 13: What Team Canada did at Milano Cortina 2026

February 19, 2026

It perhaps wasn’t the medal colour that they wanted, but Team Canada’s women’s hockey team did the country proud, adding a silver medal to the count on Day 13 at Milano Cortina 2026.

There was also a medal assured in men’s curling as Team Jacobs won their semifinal and Team Homan will play for a medal in women’s curling after winning their fifth straight game to get into the women’s semifinals.

Here’s a look at the news of the day.

Hockey

Team Canada fell 2-1 in overtime to the United States in the championship game of the women’s hockey tournament, capturing silver. Kristin O’Neill scored Canada’s lone goal, which came in the second period.

Canada carried that lead into the final few minutes of the third where the rival Americans would tie it. Megan Keller then scored 4:07 into the three-on-three overtime period, winning the United States gold. Canada has medalled in every Olympic women’s hockey tournament, winning five gold and three silver.

Curling

Team Jacobs will play for gold in the men’s event after defeating Norway 5-4 in an extra end in the semifinals. The Canadians had lost their final round robin game 8-6 to the Norwegians earlier in the day, but got the revenge and redemption they were seeking in the semi.

It will be Canada’s first gold medal game in four-player curling since Sochi 2014. Brad Jacobs was also the skip of that men’s team that won gold back then. Canada will play Great Britain—skipped by World No. 1 Bruce Mouat—in the final on Saturday.

Team Homan secured their spot in the women’s semifinals with a 10-7 victory over South Korea in the final round robin draw. It was their fifth consecutive win. They’ll play Sweden in the semifinals on Friday, a team they defeated in the round robin.

Freestyle Skiing

Three Canadians were among the top 12 in the qualification round of women’s ski halfpipe. But the focus afterwards was on the health of Cassie Sharpe. After posting a score of 88.25 in her first run—which stood as the third best score of the day—the two-time Olympic medallist crashed hard in her second run and needed medical attention in the pipe before being taken off on a sled. In a hopeful sign, she was able to wave to fans as she was taken away.

She was reported to be in stable condition and was being evaluated by Team Canada and Freestyle Canada medical staff.

Amy Fraser placed seventh in qualifying with a top score of 81.75. Rachael Karker ranked ninth with 78.25 points. Dillan Glennie ended up in 14th place with a best score of 73.00.
