TSN- After sweeping their opponents throughout the tournament, the U.S. Women’s Ice Hockey Team earned silver as they were edged out by Canada in the championship game at the 2009 Women’s Four Nations Cup, Nov. 3-7 in Tikkurila, Finland. The event featured the top four women’s hockey teams in the world – the United States, Canada, Finland and Sweden – and is the last international women’s hockey tournament prior to the start of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The U.S. team opened preliminary-round play with a 4-0 win over Finland and added two additional tournament wins after defeating both Sweden and Canada 3- 2.   The U.S. Women’s team beat Canada to win the gold medal at the 2009 World Championships earlier this year.

Team USA will return to Qwest Tour action on Nov. 22 in Durham, N.H., against the Hockey East All-Stars. For tickets and more information, visit QwestTour.com.
