United States coach Dan Bylsma relishing Canada rematch

By , Reporter
United States ice hockey coach Dan Bylsma reveals that he is eagerly anticipating his side's semi-final showdown with Canada in Sochi in a rematch from 2010.

United States ice hockey coach Dan Bylsma has revealed that he is relishing a rematch with Canada in the semi-finals of the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Team USA were defeated by Canada in Vancouver four years ago in the gold medal game, and a victory over the Czech Republic on Wednesday has put the teams on a collision course yet again in the last four of the competition.

Bylsma told ESPN: "We knew we were going to have some big games prior to this point in time, but you were looking forward to the possibility of this rematch."

USA and Canada face off on Friday in their semi-final clash.
