Canada and the United States are set to face off in a highly anticipated match for the Para Hockey gold medal at the 2021 World Para Ice Hockey Championships.
The two teams have a long-standing rivalry in the sport, with Canada currently holding the title of reigning world champions. However, the United States is determined to reclaim the top spot and has been training rigorously for this moment.
Both teams have had a strong showing throughout the tournament, with Canada dominating in their group stage matches and the United States securing a spot in the gold medal game after a hard-fought victory against the Czech Republic.
The Para Hockey gold medal game is expected to be a thrilling and intense battle between the two powerhouses. Canada’s captain, Tyler McGregor, expressed his excitement for the match, stating, “This is what we’ve been working towards all year. We know the United States will bring their best game, but we’re ready for the challenge.”
