The IIHF Women’s World Championships, the crowning jewel of the women’s hockey season, begin tomorrow in Espoo, Finland. Canada and USA will battle it out for gold while the rest of the field battles for bronze... except this year there are more teams, more games, and more chances for upsets than there have been for years.
Sure, the time zones this year mean that if you’ve got a 9 to 5 job in North America you might miss a few games. We’ll have daily recaps at PPP, but there are also some prime-time reruns, and hey, who doesn’t take a long lunch now and again?
