SJHN Daily: USA-Canada Tonight at Tech CU Arena, Musty Off to Quick Start
On Wednesday night, the U.S. Women’s National Team will take on the Canadian Women’s National Team at Tech CU Arena, home of the San Jose Barracuda.
Some of the PWHL’s top stars will be in the Bay Area for the only time this year as part of the 2024-25 Rivalry Series. Canada and the United States have battled for the gold medal on numerous occasions and now there’s a rare opportunity to see them play in person.
Former San Jose Sharks broadcaster Kendall Coyne-Schofield will join the legendary Hilary Knight and a young up-and-coming star, and PWHL champion, Taylor Heise on the American team. Meanwhile, Marie-Philip Poulin, Natalie Spooner, and the rest of the Canadian team will try to spoil their fun.
“That’s kind of the the goal for the Rivalry Series, both for USA and Canada, is to grow the game,” USA’s Hannah Bilka said.
The 23-year-old recalled watching the 2014 Winter Olympics and has attended Rivalry Series games as a fan.
With the game tonight at 7 PM, there are still tickets available to see some of the top women’s hockey players live, which can be found here.
