Canadian women’s hockey team gets another chance at elusive world title
PLYMOUTH, Mich. — World championships scarce lately for the Canadian women’s hockey team, they’re getting another chance to end their drought.
Friday’s final against the United States marks the 18th time in 18 championships the archrivals have clashed for gold.
Winner of three in a row, the American women intend to have their storybook ending on home ice with a fourth.
Canada has won 10 times and the U.S. seven. The Americans have beaten Canada in six of the last seven, including last year’s 1-0 overtime victory in Kamloops, B.C.
