Through 28 games in the regular season, the two top teams remained constant. And in the end it was the first place team Calgary Inferno that wound up beating second place Les Canadiennes by a score of 5-2 to win it all on Sunday at the Coca Cola Coliseum in Toronto.
The Inferno and Canadiennes were no strangers to facing off against each other in big games. Both the 2016 and 2017 Clarkson finals, these two teams battled it out for their hands on the Cup, splitting one apiece.
In the 2019 edition of the two rivals, Poulin, the CWHL’s leading scorer, and Most Valuable Player voted by both her peers and league staff, she would simply be motivation for her teammates.
