After women’s ice hockey was first adopted as an official event at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics, only Canada and the United States shared the Olympic gold medal.
Canada has won gold medals five times, including this event, and the United States has won gold medals twice.
Six of the seven finals at the Olympics were between Canada and the United States.

Legendary Canadian women’s ice hockey player Marie-Philip Pauline (31) led the fight.
Pauline, who stepped on the Olympic stage for the fourth time in her personal career, finished the Olympic stage splendidly, possibly the last, with two goals and one assist.
Canada’s Natalie Spooner opened the scoring in the middle of the first period, but the video was declared offside and the goal was canceled.
But the regret didn’t last long. At 7:50 in the first period, Sarah Nurses took responsibility for the first goal.
When Claire Thompson passed the puck that was won by face-off to the opposing half, the nurse in the door swung in with a stick and split the American goal net.

At 15:02, Pauline intercepted the opposing puck and scored an additional goal. The American goalie, whose vision was blocked by a defender on the same team, might not even use his hand.
Canada’s momentum rose 3-0 thanks to Pauline’s additional goal at 9:08 seconds in the second period, effectively dividing the game.
The US started the chase with Hillary Knight’s save goal at 16:39 of the second period.
With 13 seconds left at the end of the third period, Amanda Castle added another goal, but there was not enough time to turn the game around.
Canada won its fifth Olympic gold medal, the most in Olympic history, with the United States taking silver and Finland taking bronze.
Finland defeated Switzerland 4-0 in the bronze medal match the previous day.
