"It's just incredible. The games, as you know, with Canada, get tight like that. They typically always do. You don't want to over time. They tend to go that way. And then to have that play that we had with getting the puck on Megan Keller's stick and the move she made in the offensive zone, just amazing, incredible feeling," Hill said when asked about the win.

Hill said the team had a solid plan as it headed into overtime, where shots were 29-28 in favor of Canada.

"We had a great game plan going into that OT," Hill said. "…It was just a situation where we had good, quick heads-up puck movement and an outstanding individual effort for that goal."

As for what's next, Hill said he's headed to continue coaching at Quinnipiac and prepare for the college playoffs.

FOX 5 also caught up with U.S. Olympic Skeleton team member Austin Florian. Florian finished 19th in the IBSF World Championships with a time of 4:35.08.

"It was amazing. It was a dream come true. It's an honor to represent our country and represent everybody at home," Florian said.

What's next:

Both the men's and women's U.S. Hockey teams were invited to attend President Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday night. The women will not attend due to scheduling conflicts.
