Denmark has less than 20 hockey arenas in its entire country. Canada's hockey pedigree needs no introduction. Take it a step further. In Thursday's IIHF World Championship quarterfinal matchup, Denmark's roster featured exactly one NHL player.

Team USA lost to Canada in its last IIHF final in 1934, one year after defeating the Canadians to win the event. That remains the only gold medal in the IIHF World Championships for the United States to date. Sunday's final will start at 2:20 p.m. ET.
