Jack Wallace tallied a hat trick, contributing to a performance that, along with recent wins by the U.S. men\u2019s and women\u2019s hockey teams,helped the U.S.become the first nation to sweep hockey gold at both the Olympics and Paralympics. The team\u2019s offensive pace set a U.S. Paralympic record of 46 goals across five games, and players like Wallace and captain Josh Pauls praised the grit, teamwork, and investments in grassroots development.<\/p>\n<p>In the World Baseball Classic, the U.S. defeated Canada 5-3 in the quarterfinals, building a 5-0 lead before Canada narrowed the gap. Navy SEAL Robert O\u2019Neill delivered a pre-game pep talk that sparked controversy on the political side. The Americans then edged the Dominican Republic 2-1 in a tight game and will face the winner of venezuela vs. Italy in the championship. The article frames the weekend as part of a broader pattern of American athletic dominance, supported by the author\u2019s notes and interviews.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fHsO5CIBawo\">NBC Sports\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/03\/16\/team-usa-humiliates-canada-in-sled-hockey-world-baseball-matchups\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Team%20USA%20Humiliates%20Canada%20In%20Sled%20Hockey,%20World%20Baseball%20Matchups&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/03\/16\/team-usa-humiliates-canada-in-sled-hockey-world-baseball-matchups\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Team%20USA%20Humiliates%20Canada%20In%20Sled%20Hockey,%20World%20Baseball%20Matchups&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/03\/16\/team-usa-humiliates-canada-in-sled-hockey-world-baseball-matchups\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/03\/16\/team-usa-humiliates-canada-in-sled-hockey-world-baseball-matchups\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Team%20USA%20Humiliates%20Canada%20In%20Sled%20Hockey,%20World%20Baseball%20Matchups&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/03\/16\/team-usa-humiliates-canada-in-sled-hockey-world-baseball-matchups\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>It&rsquo;s another Monday that ends in &ldquo;y,&rdquo; which means that American athletes just spent the past weekend humiliating Canada in sports. <\/p>\n<p>The U.S. sled hockey team defeated their <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >maple syrup-loving neighbors<\/a> to the north on Sunday to win its fifth consecutive gold medal at the Winter Paralympics.
