The biggest rivalry in women's hockey resumes on Tuesday, Feb. 10, when the USA and Canada meet on Tuesday, Feb. 10, in a preliminary round game at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
And as it often does, the game has major meaning.
The 3-0 USA has nine points and the 2-0 Canadians have six points. If the USA wins in regulation in its final game in group play, it clinches the top seed in Group A. Canada also wins the group if it wins in regulation. With any other result, Canada's rescheduled game against Finland on Feb. 12 would come into play.
Canada and the USA have met in the gold medal game six of the seven times since women's hockey was introduced to the Olympics in 1998. Canada has won four times, including rallying from a 2-0 deficit in 2014 with less than five minutes left to win in overtime. A U.S. clearing attempt toward the empty net hit the post before Canada tied the game.
