Fire on ice as Team Canada, US prep for women's hockey final

GANGNEUNG, South Korea - Canada and the United States, the most intense rivals in women's hockey, will play for Pyeongchang Winter Olympic gold on Thursday in a gritty showdown both teams have awaited for years.

"A battle for the ages, as usual," Canada's Brianne Jenner said on Tuesday.

"It's the biggest stage. On the one hand it's like any other tournament, and on the other it's our (NHL) Stanley Cup."
