The Winter Olympics have delivered massively, but few sports capture the excitement as much as ice hockey.

Tonight, the USA take on Canada, and it’s fair to say that Hilary Knight’s side arrive as heavy favorites. They dominated their North American rivals in the group stage, winning 5-0, and have conceded just one goal in the entire tournament.

Five-time Olympic champions Canada will be eager to avenge that result, and with Marie-Philip Poulin in their ranks, they have a player capable of giving the Americans real problems.

USA vs Canada kicks off at 1:10 p.m. ET / 10:10 a.m. PT / 6:10 p.m. GMT, so set your alarms. Here’s how to watch the Women’s Ice Hockey final at Milano Cortina.
