Canada Tops U.S.

Jayna Hefford had two assists and Kathy McCormack and Jennifer Botterill each had a goal and an assist Wednesday night to send Canada to a 4-2 victory over the U.S. in women’s hockey at Colorado Springs, Colo.

It was the final pre-Olympic game in the U.S. for both teams, who now head to Nagano, Japan, for next month’s Winter Games.

Canadian downhill skier Cary Mullen, still feeling the effects of a horrific crash that caused a concussion and double vision in December in Colorado, has called off his bid to compete in Nagano.
