The Canadian women's Para hockey team took home silver at the Women's World Challenge for the second straight year after a 2-0 loss to the United States in Sunday's final.
Canada's Jessie Gregory delivered another stellar performance with a tournament-high 23 saves, but the Canadians were only able to register one shot against the defending champion. The U.S. went 4-0 without surrendering a goal in the four-team tournament at the Cornerstone Community Center in Green Bay, Wisc.
Gregory turned away 11 shots to keep the final scoreless in the first period, including multiple glove saves, but U.S. forward Kelsey Lee Diclaudio managed to beat a screened Gregory early in the second frame during a delayed penalty. Doederlein scored with just over five minutes left in the game as the home crowd erupted. Canada pulled Gregory for the extra attacker in the final minutes, but the speedy Americans were able to kill the clock for their second Women's World Challenge title.
Hosted by World Para Ice Hockey, the tournament serves as an important stepping stone toward establishing a women's Para hockey world championship in 2025, with the ultimate goals of increasing female participation in the sport and having it added to the Paralympic program in 2030.While Para hockey is technically a mixed sport at the Paralympic level, only three female players have ever competed at the Games.
