We’re now less than two months away from the Women’s World Championships and Canada and USA have played just two games against each other this season.
Okay, so that’s actually pretty normal. However, it’s not an ideal situation for Canada and USA to participate in one tournament all season when their counterparts in Europe have played a rotating series of tournaments and have a pretty good idea how their teams are playing and how well they match up against a lot of their opponents.
Thus, the Rivalry series. Three games, best against the best, for bragging rights, pride.
