A proposito di questo titolo
It's a big Winter Olympics for ice hockey. Why? The stars of the NHL are back on Olympic ice. And women's hockey is riding a wave of success from its record-breaking new league, the PWHL.
Olympics.com producer ZK Goh joins host Nick McCarvel to break down the men's tournament, and we also hear from hockey great TJ Oshie, who believes NHL teammates will have no issue facing off against one another in the best-on-best format: "I think hockey players have a pretty easy time with that switch," he says. "When the game is on, it's whatever it takes. And when it's over, you shake hands and hug and hang out."
On the women's side, the USA-Canada rivalry is one of the fiercest in all of sports, with the two teams facing off in the last four consecutive gold-medal games. Canada captain Marie-Philip Poulin sits down one-on-one with Olympics.com producer Grace Goulding to discuss how the Olympics has shaped her as a leader - and why women's hockey is having such a moment.
"It's been amazing to see," she explains of the explosive growth. "And I'm really excited to see what's ahead, too."
