In a season where the bar has continued to be raised for the PWHL, Marie-Philip Poulin was front and centre when that bar was its highest.
MONTREAL — Prior to the game, in warmups, the Bell Centre was perhaps a quarter full, if that.
Toronto were doing their twirls around the ice, as they always do, except this time they were doing it at the Bell Centre, knowing a capacity crowd of 21,105 — — would be filing in eventually. Advertisement Except they weren’t there yet. There were people lined around the glass for warmups holding signs supporting their favourite players, just like they are for games, and the environment — the stage — was definitely different for these players.
,” Poulin said. “I never, ever thought in my wildest dreams. Obviously you dream of being a part of Team Canada because that’s what we saw, we saw it on TV, you wanted to be part of that team.” And now, the hope is young girls watching everywhere will dream of this. Because they were in the crowd Saturday, or they were watching on TV at home. They are seeing this, something Poulin or Sarah Nurse or any of the players on the ice Saturday never saw when they were growing up.
