Although there is an intense rivalry between the Olympic Hockey teams for both the men's and women's, there seems to be a great deal of respect. I remember in Salt Lake, someone on the US men's team said I paraphrase "I'm happy they won, they really wanted it". There were a number of US players and event US sport comentators that were happy for Canada for the same reason. At this Olympics Cassie Campbell from the Canadian Olympic women's team expressed regret that they couldn't play for gold against the US team.
