Frankly, its just not that intriguing of an event as an Olympic event. Its not the fault of Canada or the States. But there just isn't an Olympic level of competition here.
I would expect that there will be serious discussions on whether to include it in the next one.

There were some nice stories. Finland doing well and Sweden not doing well.
The Japanese girl's reaction when scoring the overtime winner in the consolation playoff against Sweden was priceless. She couldn't believe it!
Then Japan lost to Switzerland only 1-0 in the 5th place game.
It would suck to lose that aspect of the game. Women's hockey would die if it got booted out.
