The last time Canada and the United States met, Canada played spoiler on U.S. territory, winning the gold medal at the 2024 IIHF Women’s World Championship in Utica, New York.
Forward Danielle Serdachny scored the 6-5 winner in overtime.

The Canadians have rallied from a 3-0 series deficit to defeat their archrivals 4-3 in each of the last two Rivalry Series. However, with this new format things could change. This new five-game series is prompted in part by the increase in high-level competition for national team members via the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL).
Star American forward Taylor Heise was a fan of the rivalry series growing up. Heise, who led the 2022 Women’s Worlds with 18 points, started to dream about representing her country as she learned more about the rivalry. Canadian captain Marie-Philip Poulin has played in all five Rivalry Series since 2018-19.
With 21 players who participated in the gold medal run at the 2024 Women’s Worlds, Canada has kept its main nucleus intact. The U.S. will bring 24 players that were silver medalists at the last Women’s Worlds. Two new additions are familiar, as they have both previously played for the national team. At 35-years-old, captain Hilary Knight is the oldest player and Joy Dunne is the youngest at 19 on the U.S. roster. It could be a perfect blend of experience and youth. Only time will tell.
