Canadian Women Top U.S. In Ot

Completing a hat trick, Nancy Drolet stretched behind United States goalie Erin Whitten to tip in a fluttering puck at 12:59 of overtime and give Canada its fourth straight gold medal in the Women’s World Ice Hockey Championship 4-3. The Canadians have beaten the Americans for all four titles.

The Canadian players stormed off the bench, flung their gloves and sticks in the air and began hugging at center ice, and several draped flags over themselves during the medals ceremony.

Angela James scored the other Canadian goal. Alana Blahoski, Stephanie O’Sullivan and Katie King scored for the U.S.
