Since the WILC started in 2003, Team Canada is undefeated with an overall record of 23–0.
In the bronze medal game, the United States beat first-time participant Israel 15–4. Canadian Shawn Evans was the tournament MVP, scoring 10 goals and 25 assists in 5 games.

Over 10,000 fans attended the gold and bronze medal games in the Carrier Dome.
