Ice hockey at the 1998 Winter Olympics

1998 was the first year that featured women in ice hockey competition. It was greatly anticipated that the women's gold medal match would feature Canada versus the United States, with Canada winning, Canada having won all the competitions in previous years in women's hockey, and the United States perpetually finishing second, with no one else up their level of play. However, the United States became the first country to win gold in women's ice hockey at the Olympics.
