In 2025, the U.S. women’s hockey team dominated its rivalry with Canada, winning six straight games, including a world championship final in overtime. As both teams prepare for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, Canadian players like Brianne Jenner and captain Marie-Philip Poulin express confidence in their ability to defend their gold medal. The formation of the Professional Women’s Hockey League has altered Olympic preparations, necessitating a fresh approach for team selection. Canada’s roster will be finalized based on performance in the PWHL and national team camps, with potential last-minute changes for injuries before the tournament starts on February 4.
