Canada-USA Rivalry Series

The Canada-USA Rivalry Series is a series of games that have been played on a nearly annual basis that matches up the two most dominant national teams in international women's ice hockey.
This series of international friendlies dates back to a series held from October to December of 1997.
==History==
After an American victory over Canada at the 1998 Nagano Olympics, the Canadian Olympic team won the next four gold medals over the USA (the exception being 2006 where Canada defeated Sweden for gold and USA defeated Finland for bronze) until 2018, when the USA ended a 20-year gold medal drought defeating Canada in a shootout. Canada once again claimed Olympic gold over the USA at the 2022 Olympics.
However, at the World Championships, Canada won the first 8 straight gold medals from 1990 to 2004 but since, the USA has dominated winning 9 of the last 13 World Championships, defeating Canada eight times (the exception being 2019 where the USA won gold defeating Finland, who upset Canada in their semi-final match). 
At the 4 Nations Cup, Canada and the USA have faced each other in every gold medal game (except 2001 when the USA withdrew due to the September 11 attacks and 2013 where Canada won gold defeating Finland and the USA won bronze defeating Sweden), with Canada winning 10 of the first 13 and the USA winning 6 of the last 10.
The longest win streak, eight games, by the Americans was broken by Canada's win in the gold medal game of the 2002 Olympics.
