Canada Hold Off USA to Win Women's Hockey Gold Medal in 2022 Winter Olympics

Canada's women's hockey team is back on top of the sport.

The Canadians defeated the rival United States 3-2 in Wednesday's gold-medal matchup at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Marie-Philip Poulin, Sarah Nurse and goaltender Ann-Renee Desbiens led the way for the victors and helped their side reclaim the gold medal it won in the 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014 Games.

Hilary Knight and Amanda Kessel scored for the Americans, but it wasn't enough for back-to-back Olympic glory.
