Team Canada’s Women’s Hockey Team Makes Amazing Comeback to Tie Series Against Team USA

Posted on by

Team Canada’s Women’s Hockey Team has made an unbelievable comeback against Team USA to force a Game 7 winner takes all game that is set to occur on Wednesday at Place Bell in Laval.

Team USA won the first 3 games of the 7 game series, and it’s very rare that a team comes back from a 3-0 game deficit in any 7-game series. A reverse sweep is on the horizon and Team Canada only needs to win one more game to add another thrilling story to the historic Team Canada Vs Team USA rivalry. 

Team Canada won Game 6 with a final score of 5-1 in front of a sold-out crowd. They got goals from Sarah Nurse, Laura Stacey, Claire Thompson, Brianne Jenner, and national hero, Marie-Philip Poulin put the icing on the cake to force Game 7.

The goal was Poulin’s 200th Team Canada point. She is only the 5th player to do so. She joins Hayley Wickenheiser, Jayna Hefford, Caroline Ouellette, and Danielle Goyette as the only other female players to record 200 points for Team Canada. She’s not done putting her name in the history books yet, as she is 3 goals away from scoring 100 goals for Team Canada. If she’s able to score 3 more, she will be the 4th player to do in Team Canada Women’s history. She’s scored many big goals for Team Canada, and I’m certain we’re set for another big goal in the near future… perhaps this Wednesday?

Poulin was also honoured after Monday’s game for winning the Northern Star Award (Canadian Athlete of the Year) and the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award (The Canadian Press female Athlete of the Year).

Game 7 will be on February 22nd at 4 pm (PST) with everything being on the line. Make sure to mark the date and time in your calendar so you don’t miss this exciting hockey game.
