Marie Philip-Poulin named Canada’s captain for women’s world hockey championship
KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Marie-Philip Poulin has been named Canada’s captain for the women’s world hockey championship for a second straight year.
The 25-year-old from Beauceville, Que., leads the host team into this year’s tournament starting Monday in Kamloops, B.C.
Canada fell 7-5 to the U.S. in last year’s final in Malmo, Sweden, and settled for silver.
Poulin scored both a late equalizer and the overtime golden goal for Canada against the U.S. in the 2014 Olympic Games.
