The women's hockey final was a superlative effort on both sides. However, towards the end of the third period America's speed could be seen to wear down the Canadian women's while our goalie, Shannon Szabacos, saved the team from defeat in regulation overtime.
Letting the Germans play a very conservative trap-orientated game for the first two periods in the men's semi-finals, enabled them to take a three goal lead twice and ultimately the game, despite a strong effort that reduced the margin to one goal.
