The top seed for the knockout round at the IIHF Women’s World Championships up for grabs Monday night as the United States and Canada meet again
It’s not an exaggeration to say that the road to gold at the IIHF Women’s World Championships goes through the United States and Canada. The two national programs have won each of the 22 previous tournaments and have played for the gold medal 21 times. The lone exception came in 2019 when host Finland upset Canada in the semifinals. On Monday night at the Adirondack Bank Center in Utica, New York, the U.S. (3-0-0, 9 points) and Canada (3-0-0, 9 points) will decide the top overall seed for the knockout stage when they face off in the final Group A game for both.
