On February 19, Canada’s women’s hockey team aims for gold in a match against the United States, continuing a historic rivalry that has seen these teams face each other in nearly every Olympic final since 1998. This year, Canadian captain Marie-Philip Poulin is a standout player, having scored both goals in the semifinal match against Switzerland, which brought her total Olympic goals to 20 and set a new record for Canadian athletes. Despite the U.S. team’s strong performance in the Olympics leading up to this final, Canada is known for its tenacity and skill on the ice, making this match highly anticipated.

In addition to the women’s hockey final, Canada's men's curling team has secured its position in the semifinals after a successful round-robin stage where they achieved a 7-1 record. Their last match before moving on to the semifinals was marked by both impressive strategic play and some controversy, giving fans plenty to discuss as they divert their attention to the upcoming playoff rounds. They will face Norway, who also has been performing well in the tournament.

The Canada-U.S. matchup in women’s hockey is set to be one of the most exciting events in the Milan Cortina Olympics, bringing together loyal fans and a legacy of competitive sportsmanship. Meanwhile, the success of the men’s curling team reflects the depth of Canadian talent in winter sports, with expectations high for both teams in their respective competitions. All eyes will be on these matches as the Olympics draw nearer to their conclusion, showcasing the skill and spirit that these athletes represent on a global stage.
