A YEAR ON: GOLDEN MEMORIES FROM THE IIHF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN ICELAND

2020 IIHF Women’s World Championships On February 29, 2020, in Akureyri, Iceland, the Australian women’s ice hockey team played New Zealand in the decisive game of the tournament. Australia led the group, but a New Zealand victory would force a three-way tie with Australia and Iceland, and a four-goal loss to New Zealand would give the Kiwis the gold. Nerves and doubt, long-time companions of adversity, could have easily set in amongst the players and staff after going behind early in the game.
