CWHL Recap: Playoff race heats up as Furies beat Blades 5-1 and Thunder fall to Canadiennes 2-1

Tonight the Furies held an alumnae night, specifically celebrating former Olympian Jennifer Botterill and Hockey Hall of Famer Angela James. Both women are former captains of Toronto CWHL teams, although both played before Toronto was named the Furies, as well as for Toronto teams prior to the founding of the CWHL. (The history of Toronto area CWHL teams is somewhat convoluted but generally the Toronto Aeros, the Burlington Barracudas and the Mississauga Chiefs are all considered predecessors of the Furies.)

Veteran forward Julie Allen was also honoured, as tonight marked her 100th CWHL game.

It was yet another do-or-die game for Toronto.
