For Canada, much of the spotlight falls on captain Marie-Philip Poulin, often called “Captain Clutch” for her history of delivering in gold-medal moments.

Beyond hockey, this final is one of the signature moments of the Winter Olympics. It captures national pride, decades of competition and the evolution of women’s sport on the world stage.
