And there is nothing in the sporting world today — nothing as rivals — that compares to Canada and the United States playing women’s hockey. In the end, Canada basically won a game it probably should have lost, won the ability to choose its colours for the gold medal match, and the opportunity to choose which bench it will occupy. The last time they met each other at the Olympics, four years ago, Canada won gold in Sochi in overtime. Canada has won four Olympics in a row. This one being just the latest twist in this ever-turning rivalry of all rivalries.
