Accepted answer

If you haven't found it or tried it yet, you might consider newspapers.com. The site allows you to search topics, keywords, etc. and look at actual scanned copies of newspapers from past years, going back to the 1700s. I went to the site and searched "1936 Olympics Hockey." 6,363 newspaper matches came back in the results. The results are broken down further by the newspaper location. Pennsylvania alone had 1,318 matches. Of course, with all keyword searches, you'll probably find a lot of articles that aren't relevant to the topic you're researching. But out of 6,363 results, I'd bet you'll find at least a few contemporary newspaper articles about the 1936 US Olympic hockey team. The site says you can get a free trial; I don't know what the details are on that. It also says you can subscribe for a month for $7.95 and for a year for $79.95. Then you could use the extra $920.05 for something else! I hope this helps.
