The Women's hockey gold medal game is tomorrow (Thursday), and it's going to be Badger on Badger crime. No matter what, 11 former or current Wisconsin women's hockey players will be walking away with either a gold medal or a silver medal. The USA has a slew of Badgers, while Canada also has a few.
The two teams have already faced off once in these Olympics, and it did not go Canada's way. The USA team has simply been too dominant for this season in women's ice hockey, but if there's any team that can get it together and pull off the upset, it's Canada. Why? They have an all-star lineup and are the current reigning champs.
The game is going to be well worth the watch and all the details of which Badgers are featured and what time/channel you can watch the game are below.
