In the 21 times the women's world hockey championship has been contested starting in 1990, Canada and the United States have met in the title game 20 times, the Canadians winning 12, the Americans nine.
It's considered one of the best rivalries in sport for a reason. At the highest level of women's hockey these two North American juggernauts deliver time and time again.
There is a deep respect for each other rooted in decades of iconic moments. And there is a distinctive fierceness, intensity and unparalleled passion when these two hit the ice.
Here we go again. This year's championship is underway in Brampton, Ont., and pundits and fans alike are once again predicting the obvious end game — Canada vs USA for women's hockey supremacy.
