First hockey gold since 2012 for women's squad

Canada has won the women's world hockey championship for the first time in almost a decade with a 3-2 overtime win over the United States in Calgary. 

Marie-Philip Poulin scored the winner for Canada with a goal that needed a video review midway through the 3-on-3 extra period.  

It's been 9 years since Canada has won gold in the tournament.
