Women's hockey has been growing rapidly with the rise of international tournaments such as the World Championships, as well as the inclusion of women's hockey as an Olympic sport. Canada and the United States are the main powers in the sport, having won every major international tournament between the two of them. Other countries are starting to catch up, as evidenced by Sweden's defeat of the United States in the 2006 Olympic semi-final. Sweden's silver medal was the highest finish by a non-North American team.
