U.S. edges Canada in women's hockey world championship final in overtime classic
Tessa Janecke lifted the U.S. to the women's hockey world title over rival Canada, scoring the golden goal in a three-on-three overtime period. Janecke scored 17 minutes into the 20-minute period for a 4-3 win in Czechia on Sunday. Nine of the last 14 finals between the U.S. and Canada have gone to overtime between the Olympics and World Championships dating to 2011. Advertisement Either the U.S. or Canada has won all 24 world titles. The rivals met in the final in 23 of the 24 editions dating to the first worlds in 1990. In the third period Sunday, Canadian Sarah Fillier tied it at 3-3 with 5:48 left. That came nearly 10 minutes after a collision between U.S. goalie Aerin Frankel and Canadian forward Laura Stacey outside of the crease. Stacey was given a two-minute penalty for charging. Frankel was replaced by Gwyneth Philips, who all of a sudden was playing in an international knockout game for the first time. The U.S. goals in regulation came from Caroline Harvey, Abbey Murphy and Taylor Heise. Advertisement The U.S. went 7-0 at worlds, going undefeated for the first time since 2019. Canada had won four of the previous five Olympic or world titles, its most dominant stretch in the rivalry since the 2000s. Now the U.S., with a world championship roster more than two years younger than Canada's, will look to reclaim the Olympic title next February. Canada won the 2022 Olympic final 3-2, after which the U.S. program underwent many changes. John Wroblewski succeeded Joel Johnson as head coach, and several young players ascended. Heise went from being cut from the 2022 Olympic team to MVP of the summer 2022 World Championship. Advertisement Harvey went from being the youngest player on the 2022 Olympic team (and playing the least of the team's healthy skaters) to being named the best defender of the 2023 Worlds. Laila Edwards made her senior national team debut in November 2023 and was MVP of the 2024 World Championship. The goalie Frankel, who didn't make the 2022 Olympic team, started World Championship finals in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Janecke is the latest. The 20-year-old Penn State junior made her senior national team debut in December 2022.

Wisconsin's season of dominance reaches Women's Frozen Four and a road-like game vs. rival Minnesota
Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — In the small world of college women's hockey that has been dominated by handful of schools in the 2½ decades since the NCAA began sponsoring the sport, Wisconsin has come the closest to conquering it. This bunch of Badgers might be the best of all. They've reached the Women's Frozen Four this weekend for the 16th time in the last 19 editions, boasting by far the highest-scoring team in the country — and the hardest to score against. The clear favorite to win what would be the program's record eighth title even accounts for all three — yes, all three — of the finalists for the Patty Kazmaier Award that goes to the nation's best player. But first, Wisconsin must get past a semifinal game on Friday night that comes with a most unusual challenge for the top-seeded team in a national tournament: Facing rival Minnesota on its home ice. 'Honestly, that's going to fuel our fire,' junior defender Caroline Harvey said. Tickets for the semifinal session and the championship game on Sunday afternoon at 3,400-seat Ridder Arena sold out in advance, another sign of progress in a sport that has made strides through the recent establishment of the Women's Professional Hockey League. Players have seen the secondary market prices soar online for getting in the door, a minimum of $100 with some seats for the title game going for more than $400. 'It can be seen as a disadvantage being in their home rink, but Badger fans travel well. I know everyone's families are going to be there,' fifth-year senior forward Casey O'Brien said. "I know the atmosphere's going to be insane. It's going to be bumping with both Gopher fans and Badger fans. I wouldn't want anything less in a game this big. We're all just really excited.' Junior forward Laila Edwards will join Harvey and O'Brien at the Kazmaier ceremony on Saturday, guaranteeing the Badgers a sixth winner in the 28-year history of the award. The only other time one team has filled all three finalist spots was 2013, when Minnesota went 41-0 to win it all. Wisconsin sophomore Ava McNaughton also won the Women's College Hockey Goalie of the Year Award that was announced on Thursday. She's one of five current players — plus four alums — who will give Wisconsin a team-high nine spots on the 25-player U.S. national team that will travel to the Czech Republic for the Women's World Championships next month. With 211 goals in 39 games this season, Wisconsin (36-1-2) has scored 60 more times than the next-closest team, Minnesota (29-11-1). The Badgers have the nation's most effective power play and penalty kill units, and they've had only 43 goals against. 'This is the first time that I've felt like we are completely deep, meaning we can put out any line, any 'D' pair, and they're going to get the job done,' O'Brien said. Keeping the main thing the main thing The mastermind behind the bench for the Badgers is coach Mark Johnson, who's in his 22nd season at his alma mater he helped win the 1977 national championship in men's hockey before playing for the 'Miracle on Ice' team for the U.S. at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics. Johnson has guided his team to five wins in five games against the Gophers already this season while holding their leading scorer, Abbey Murphy, without a goal in any of them. He has also experienced with his team the bitterness of a 1-0 loss to Ohio State last year in the NCAA championship game in Durham, New Hampshire, after beating the Buckeyes 1-0 for the title in 2023 in Duluth, Minnesota. Plenty of potential distractions will surround the Badgers this weekend, from the opposing team fans to the bundle of awards to the pressure of avenging last season's loss, but Johnson has spent plenty of time preaching the value of keeping perspective and the art of being present as much as teaching hockey. 'Make the most important thing the most important thing,' he said. Minnesota feels like home for Muzerall Ohio State (28-7-3) will face Cornell (25-4-5) in the other semifinal on Friday, when Nadine Muzerall will undoubtedly take a moment to reflect on her nine-year journey as coach of the Buckeyes. This is their sixth appearance in the Frozen Four, all since she took over, and they've won two titles. Minnesota is also where she played for the Gophers in the first edition of the event in 2001, across the street before Ridder Arena was finished. The campus where she met her future husband, a former football player for the Gophers, always feels like a homecoming to her. 'I'd like to say I have drank the Kool-Aid and I bleed scarlet and gray now, however, how could it not?' Muzerall said. 'I don't forget where I came from.' ___ AP women's hockey: in this topic
