(WXYZ) — Two of the best women's hockey programs in the world will face off for a friendly match in both Windsor and Plymouth this fall.
Team Canada, which won the Silver medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics, will take on Gold medal-winning Team USA at the WFCU Centre in Windsor on Oct. 28 at 7 p.m.
USA beat Canada in the Gold Medal game this winter at the Olympics, and this will be their first rematch ahead of the IIHF Women's World Championship, set for Denmark from Nov. 6-16.
Two days later, USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth will host the two teams with puck drop at 7 p.m.
"It’s an honor to return to USA Hockey Arena with the Women’s Olympic Gold Medalists and kick-off this new Olympic quad," said Women's National Team Head Coach, John Wroblewski.
“We are thrilled to bring together two of the top countries in women’s hockey, who will showcase their incredible talent and passion in Windsor,” said D’Arcy Hutcheson, director of events with Hockey Canada. “Windsor has played host to a number of Hockey Canada events and continues to deliver an excellent experience for staff, players and fans who will be cheering on Team Canada as it prepares for the IIHF Women’s World Championship.”
