The Women's Olympic Hockey Final Is a Sapphic Soap Opera
"On Wednesday, Team USA and Team Canada will play for gold in one of the most ~heated~ matchups of these Olympic Games. As ESPN notes, the only two countries to have won women's hockey gold at the Olympics are the U.S. and Canada since it was added in 1998. Canada beat Team USA 3-2 at the 2022 Beijing Olympics-but the Americans are the big favorites this time and have been dominating the tournament."
"They destroyed Canada 5-0 in their first match-up earlier in the Games. "Knowing the pressure of that moment, the energy in the building, it's going to be different," Kendall Coyne Schofield, who's playing in her fourth Olympics, told ESPN. "But really it's just about emptying the tank. Whatever you have left. It's a long tournament, just empty it. Go out there and give it your best. That's all you can do.""
""A USA Hockey star and her Hockey Canada gf breaking up before the Gold Medal Game is levels of lesbianism once thought to be incomprehensible," one person tweeted on Tuesday. The same day, the Sporting News noted that Harvey's teammate recently referred to her as single in a TikTok, while other internet sleuths reported that she deleted all the photos of her and Watts from Instagram."
Team USA and Team Canada will face each other for women's ice hockey gold at the Milan-Cortina Olympics, continuing a rivalry that has produced every Olympic women's hockey champion since 1998. Canada won the 2022 final 3-2, but the United States entered the current tournament as favorites after a dominant 5-0 victory earlier in the Games. Veteran Kendall Coyne Schofield urged teammates to give everything in the gold-medal moment. Concurrently, unverified online rumors have suggested a private relationship between Caroline Harvey and Daryl Watts and possible breakup activity during the Olympics, but neither player has confirmed anything publicly.
