‘It was a long time coming’: Montreal’s PWHPA win represented a lot more than just one tournament

The Montreal Canadiens weren’t the first Montreal hockey team to celebrate a win last week, and they weren’t even the first one to do it after a win against a team from Toronto.

The Montreal chapter of the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association, who practice and train out of the Centre 21.02 in the Verdun Auditorium, won the Canadian leg of the Secret Dream Gap Tour with a win in the championship game over Toronto.

The celebrations were befitting a season-long grind, and not a week-long tournament because this Montreal team has been working together for most of the hockey season, even if they haven’t had games with other teams.
