For the first time since the Miracle on Ice squad in 1980, Team USA has won gold in men's Olympic ice hockey.

Tied 1-1 at the end of regulation, the Americans wasted little time in the 3-on-3 overtime. Jack Hughes -- missing teeth after being on the other end of a high stick penalty in the third period -- found the back of the net off an assist from Zach Werenski, prompting a raucous celebration from his teammates. With their 2-1 win, the U.S. men join the women's team -- who also won in overtime earlier this week off an incredible goal from Megan Keller -- as gold medal winners in these Olympics.

Luminaries from across the sports world -- including Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes -- took to social media to celebrate Team USA's gold.

Connor Hellebuyck was magical today, I don't think I've ever seen so many close goals not land. Only one explanation makes sense... pic.twitter.com/Ch018HfK2S
