Dominant women’s hockey team will face off against U.S. for gold medal
Just a day after the U.S. men’s hockey team stunned Canada in a qualification game, the Canadian women have set up a cross-border showdown of their own. The Canadian women’s hockey team defeated Finland 4-0 in the semi-finals Monday evening and will now face off against the U.S. in the gold medal game on Thursday. The result doesn’t come as a shock—the U.S. beat Sweden 9-1 earlier in the day—but the Americans will no doubt be anxious to avenge their loss to Canada at the 2002 Games in Turin.
