Overview

  • The United States advanced to the final after a 5-0 semifinal win over Finland on Sunday, extending its streak of reaching every Women's World Championship final to 25 straight tournaments.
  • Canada beat Sweden 3-0 in the second semifinal, with Sarah Fillier scoring and Ann-Renée Desbiens recording the shutout to send Canada to Monday's gold-medal game.
  • The championship is scheduled for Monday, November 16 at 3 p.m. ET, with Finland and Sweden set to play for bronze at 9 a.m. ET.
  • Individual milestones highlighted the semis: defender Caroline Harvey leads the tournament with 15 points and set the single-tournament defender scoring record, while U.S. goalie Aerin Frankel added another shutout and moved past previous marks for career World Championship wins by an American netminder.
  • The final pits the dominant, high-scoring U.S. program—coming off a series of record performances in Denmark—against a Canadian team using the tournament to evaluate new, younger players under coach Kori Cheverie and GM Danièle Sauvageau, a dynamic that will shape roster choices ahead of the next Olympic cycle.
