Canada to "rest, recover, eat, hydrate" after cruising into Beijing 2022 ice hockey final with win over of Switzerland

Canada have booked their spot in the women's ice hockey final with a dominant 10-3 semi-final victory over Switzerland on Monday 14 February at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.

The Canadians advance to Thursday's gold-medal game and will face the winner of Monday's other semi-final between defending champions United States and Finland.

Brianne Jenner equalled an Olympic record with her ninth goal of the tournament against Switzerland.

She told Olympics.com the plan before Thursday's final:

"Yeah, rest, recover, get lots of food in us tonight and hydrate. And then it'll probably be looking at video, getting on the same page, and just making sure that we are ready to go to the final."

Captain Marie-Philip Poulin scored twice and Sarah Nurse continued her impressive Olympic run with four assists in a dominant display from the reds-and-whites.

At her third Olympic Games, Poulin already has two gold medals and a silver, scoring in every final she's played it, but missed her penalty in the shootout when the U.S. beat Canada four years ago in PyeongChang.

"I try not to think about it to be honest," she told Olympics.com after the semi-final win.

"Wearing that jersey, being able to represent Canada, we're pretty privileged to be able to do that and we take it as motivation."

"Obviously the 2018 game is in the back of our head but we've just got to move forward and focus on the next game."

Jamie Lee Rattray, Blayre Turnbull, Renata Fast, Erin Ambrose, Emily Clark, Emma Maltais and Claire Thompson all got their names on the scoresheet on Monday as Canada spread the scoring around.

For Switzerland Lara Stalder scored twice and Alina Muller netted the other in what would prove to be consolation goals against Canada's scoring
