World Cup Of Hockey Final, Game 3
Centre Molson, Montréal 🇨🇦
Saturday, 14 September 1996
By 1996, the United States had replaced the Soviet Union / Russia as Canada’s principle international rivalry.

And, in part, it was because of the emergence of the U.S. as a true hockey power. Canada had defeated the Americans — not the Soviets — in the 1991 Canada Cup, and the core American players from that team were now in their prime in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey.
