The best expanded sentence for meaning is:

"My hockey team won a gold medal at the tournament last weekend."

This sentence provides a clear achievement and timeframe, allowing for potential elaboration on the tournament event, the significance of winning the gold medal, or details about the team's journey to that victory. The other sentences, while they could also be expanded, do not carry the same level of narrative potential or emotional weight.
