History

[edit]

Finland has finished third or fourth in almost every World Championships and Olympics, with one exception being a fifth place finish at the2014 Winter Olympics and second place at the2019 World Championship. They are ranked behindCanada (#2) and theUnited States (#1). Historically, Finland's primary rival wasSweden, which finished second to Canada at the2006 Winter Olympics. Finland finished fourth, losing the game for the bronze medal to the United States. Finland defeated the United States for the first time, at the2008 World Championship in China, 1–0 in overtime. Finland defeated Canada 4–3 for the first time at the2017 World Championship in the United States. However, Finland lost the semi-final game against Canada in the same tournament, proceeding to win the bronze medal game.

At the 2019 World Championship, Finland reached the championship final for the first time in tournament history after beating Canada 4–2 in the semi-final. During thegold medal game,Petra Nieminen scored in overtime but her goal was overturned after a video review forgoalie interference. The IIHF released a press statement the next day citing rules 186 and 183ii as the reasons for overturning the goal. Finland finished as runners-up and won a silver medal after losing to the United States in a shootout.[3]
