After being swept by Canada in Pennsylvania last month, USA Hockey head coach Bob Corkum and his team went back to the drawing board. Preliminary results were a 4-1 victory over Hockey Canada in the opening game of the 2910-20 # RivalrySeries.

What made the difference? Focus, heart, and fresh blood by way of college players.

Hear from Kendall Coyne-Scofield after the Pittsburgh sweep, Megan Bozek ahead of the Rivalry Series, and Bob Corkum on recruiting from the NWHL in the future.
