World Women's Championship Games - Team USA vs Canada

After playing two great games today (04/10/2009), the girls traveled by bus to Hameenlinna, Finland, to watch Team USA play Team Canada in the World Women's Championship games. Loyalties to both Canada and the USA, which seem to be split evenly amongst the team, were proudly shown by both players and parents. Some of the girls sat behind the bench of team USA waving the stars and stripes, while others stood in the balcony waving Canadian flags. It was a great display of rivalry and fun. Team Canada beat Team USA by a score of 2-1, and will play again for the championship on Sunday. Members from both teams were gracious enough to talk to the girls after the game and sign autographs. The looks on the girls' faces were priceless as they got to meet their hockey heroes. It was a perfect ending to a great day.

Go Team Canada!
