Women’s hockey Rivalry Series to wrap up with 2 games in Quebec in February | CBC Sports

The Canadian women’s hockey team will play the U.S. twice in Quebec in February to conclude the 2022-2023 Rivalry Series, Hockey Canada announced on Thursday.

The Colisée Vidéotron in Trois-Rivières, Que., will host the first match on Feb. 20. The teams will meet again two days later at Place Bell in Laval, Que. It’ll be the first time the Americans will play in the province since 2017.

Canada will only secure the Rivalry Series title if able to win both games as the U.S. lead 3-2.

“Our team is excited to bring the Rivalry Series to Quebec next month and play the United States in Trois-Rivières and Laval,” said team captain and 3-time Olympic champion Marie-Philip Poulin, who hails from Beauceville, Que.

“We hope that the games will inspire young girls and boys to chase their hockey dreams, and we cannot wait to play on home ice in front of the best fans in the world.”
