ET on USA Network. The U.S. and Canada have met in the Olympic gold-medal game seven times since 1998, with Canada holding a 4-2 edge in those finals. Their matchups are famously close: none of the listed gold-medal contests were decided by more than a goal or two, and apart from the 2006 final—won by Canada over Sweden 4-1—the two nations have routinely met for the title.
