Canadian concerns growing over whether women’s hockey team can defend Olympic title vs. US
Canada's women's hockey team faces concerns over complacency and competitiveness ahead of the upcoming tournament in Milan.
The USA routed Canada 10-4 to improve to 3-0 in the Rivalry Series. Highlights from the game between the Olympic rivals:
The U.S. women beat Canada 4-1 in the first of four games in Rivalry Series with eye on Milan Cortina Olympics. Abbey Murphy had a hat trick.
CANADA'S LACK OF SUCCESS in recent World Juniors has not been because they were unable to defend. It has been due to undisciplined play and an inability to create offense. After leaving Misa and Parekh off the team last year, both will be counted on to drive offense at even strength and on the power play.
Hockey Canada named 27 players to its world juniors camp roster, with Sharks, Flames and Penguins players getting loaned to the national team.
