Olympic Hockey Results 2018: Medal Winners for Women's Tournament

The United States ended Canada's stranglehold on the women's ice hockey at the Winter Olympics on Thursday, as they secured a dramatic shootout win over their archrivals in the final.

After a 2-2 draw at the end of overtime, Team USA goalkeeper Maddie Rooney emerged as the hero for her side, saving Meghan Agosta's effort and sparking wild celebrations.

It meant Canada were forced to take silver for the first time in this event in five Games; they'd beaten the USA in three of those. Earlier in the day, Finland topped the Olympic Athletes from Russia 3-2 to win the bronze medal.
