PWHPA: Late power play goal clinches another Montreal women’s hockey title

The Montreal power play had talent, but it was clear that the lack of practice was something that was plaguing them throughout the tournament. With just over five minutes to go, it finally broke through.

Ottawa native Rebecca Leslie circled the zone with the puck and used the extra space to her advantage when she finally found a soft spot at the left circle and fired a shot past Toronto goaltender Erica Howe. The goal gave Montreal a 2-1 lead they would hold and the championship in the Sonnet Showcase at the Nepean Sportsplex in Ottawa on Sunday.
