Kelly Pannek was introduced to the USA-Canada rivalry on April 7, 2017, in Plymouth, Mich., in the gold medal game of the IIHF Women’s World Championship. Just 21 years old then, she looked over at the Canada bench and felt a surge of determination.

Canada dominated Czech Republic 5-1 to remain unbeaten in the women’s hockey tournament at the Milan Cortina Games. However, Canada lost its captain Marie-Philip Poulin after taking a hard hit in the first period.

Wisconsin is all over the women's hockey scene, with a whopping five current players suiting up in the Olympics (four for Team USA) and 12 current or former players competing for USA, Canada or Czechia. The U.S. will be a gold-medal favorite one Olympics cycle after taking second to Canada. The arch-rivalry has ample UW presence on both sides.
