Canada and the United States have combined for all six Olympic gold medals in women’s hockey history, with a seventh decided this evening.
Canada comes into the matchup with the most recent momentum by way of a 4-2 win — on the strength of a pair of goals from Brianne Jenner, singles via Jamie Lee Rattray and captain Marie-Philip Poulin, and a record-setting performance in net from Ann-Renée Desbiens.
It clinched first place in Group A for Canada. The United States finished second.
Team USA has recent history on its side, winning gold in eight of the past nine tournaments at the IIHF Women’s World Championship. The Americans won gold in 1998, and again at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics in a memorable shootout.
Canada, though, has won gold in 2002, 2006, 2010, and 2014, and has already smashed the Olympic goal record in 2022.
And they have Bieber, the beloved creator of TimBiebs, on their side, too.
Thanks for the ❤️ Biebs! pic.twitter.com/fmm1VfcWHh
