USA Women Dominate Rivalry Series, Eye First-Ever Sweep Over Canada in Edmonton

Canada faces an urgent reset, with roster decisions due in early January before the Milan Olympics.

Overview

  • The United States has already secured the four-game set by winning the first three matchups, outscoring Canada 20-6.
  • A 10-4 U.S. victory in Edmonton marked the most goals Canada has ever allowed in a game.
  • Tonight’s finale at Rogers Place is the last meeting before Milan, with the Americans seeking the Rivalry Series’ first sweep and a young, faster lineup driving their surge.
  • Canada held meetings and extra video sessions to address compete and structure issues, and goalie Ann-Renée Desbiens is slated for a second straight start.
  • Players return to PWHL or college teams after this game, and Hockey Canada plans to name a 23-player Olympic roster in early January.
