Another chapter will be added to the storied rivalry between the United States and Canadian women’s hockey teams when they face each other in the gold medal game of the Beijing Olympics on Wednesday night.
It will be the fourth straight Olympics these teams have played one another for gold, with Canada winning two but USA claiming the latest at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.
Both teams have been dominant to this point in the tournament, with the only loss between the two coming when they played each other in the round robin portion. Canada won 4-2 but it was easily their closest game, having been tied as late as midway through the second period.
