Speaking with a few members of Les Canadiennes as the team opens Selection Camp in Brossard

Last year's Clarkson Cup runners-up took to the field and the ice for fitness testing to kick off the 2016-17 CWHL season.

Les Canadiennes players filed into the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard Saturday morning, hockey bags slung over their shoulders, for the first time since the end of last season.

The women were in good spirits, laughing as they signed in.

"It was great to see everyone," said forward Caroline Ouellette. "It made me realize how much — yes, I missed hockey — but I missed the girls. We have so much fun together and it seems like we have a great bunch of rookies.
