Neither team found the back of the net in the first period and the game remained scoreless for almost 30 minutes.

The Canadians then got a power play in the second frame and Caileigh Tiller fired a one-timer through Morgan Stickney’s five-hole to open the scoring.

Canada held on to its lead into the third period and got some insurance after Dorothy Copetti’s shot bounced off an American’s skate and into the net.

With the game nearing its end, Strycker Zablocki buried the puck in an empty American goal to seal the win for Canada and knock off the defending champions.

Zablocki finished the event with a tournament-best 12 points and was named an all-star alongside her teammate Chloe Primerano.

Captain Primerano was named the event's best defender for the second year in a row.

Marilou Grenier stopped all 14 shots she faced while her teammates managed to fire 30 shots. <who> Photo Credit: Hockey Canada
