The Canadian PressMontreal's players already excited for Year 2 of PWHL: 'This league is on the up'
MONTREAL — Marie-Philip Poulin couldn't find enough positive things to say about her experience in Year 1 of the Professional Women’s Hockey League, even though she had to work through a malfunctioning microphone to express it. Montreal’s captain winced as a staticky, distorted noise echoed through the speakers during her team’s end-of-season press conference at the Verdun Auditorium on Friday, unable to finish answering her first question before the faulty mics were whisked away.

Toronto FC coach John Herdman is expecting a motivated CF Montreal at BMO Field on Saturday when the two teams renew their rivalry.
