Could this be an inflection point for hockey in the United States?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 4 Nations Face-Off captivated sports fans in the U.S. in a way that we haven\u2019t seen in quite some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night, it took overtime and a goal by the world\u2019s best hockey player (Connor McJesus) for the Canadians to beat the United States in the Final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada is slowly catching up to the United States in hoops, but could the U.S. be catching up to their northern neighbor in hockey?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag<\/strong>, opened up 2026 Men\u2019s Olympic Hockey futures, and Canada is just a slight favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
