US Women’s Hockey Takes Gold Against Canada

ABC News reports:

The U.S. women’s hockey team finally returned to the top of the Olympic podium with a dramatic, heart-stopping display of hockey against rival Canada. The USA won in a nail-biting shootout — 20 years after they last won gold in 1998 when women’s hockey made its debut as an Olympic sport.

The U.S. broke Canada’s streak of four straight Olympic gold medals in women’s hockey. The U.S. players celebrated on the ice, draped in the American flag, as they gained a measure of redemption for their heartbreaking overtime loss four years ago.
