An idea of a New York City and Lake Placid Winter Olympics is gaining buzz after Milan and Cortina show that a two-site Games can work.

Canada is leading Team USA in the gold medal game of the women's hockey tournament at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Kristin O'Neill scored the opening goal for Canada on a short-handed breakaway in the first minute of the second period.

The Olympics Committee now requires aspiring winter hosts to be "climate-reliable" — it has to stay cold and, ideally, covered in real snow.

The Milan Cortina Games are the first to officially be cohosted by two cities. Like New York City and Lake Placid, they’re about a five-hour drive from each other. Lake Placid has already hosted the Winter Olympics twice, most recently in 1980, so the sports infrastructure already exists.

New York state Assemblymember Robert Carroll of Brooklyn wants to organize an exploratory committee to look into returning the Winter Olympics to Lake Placid for the first time in decades — in coordination with New York City.

Islanders superstar Matthew Schaefer made a trip back home during the Olympics break for a wholesome endeavor.
