Workforce USA dropped the gold medal sport to Workforce Canada within the girls’s hockey last on the Beijing Olympics, however the sport itself turned out to be a serious win for girls’s hockey as a complete.
In line with NBC Sports activities, the gold medal sport, which aired Wednesday at 11 p.m. ET (!), averaged 3.54 million viewers. That determine is greater than any NHL sport this season. It was the second most-watched hockey sport in the US since 2019.
After all, a gold medal hockey sport all the time will draw curiosity, particularly when it is one between rivals which have as storied a historical past as the US and Canada. And there was no purpose to show the tv off, both. Regardless that Canada surged out to a 3-0 lead, Workforce USA stored pushing and managed to work its means again into issues earlier than ultimately falling 3-2.
Hopefully this interprets into help for the game between now and the subsequent Winter Olympics, scheduled for 2026 in Milan and Cortina, Italy.
