A recent news report suggests that Captain Clutch herself Marie Philip-Poulin is considering taking a pay cut to ensure that the Montreal Victoire can stay competitive

As the road to Milan-Cortina begins the Purple Trio hosts its first Olympic Hockey show for the 2026 Olympic cycle and what better way to start by going through all of the fixtures

The tournament begins on the 5th February with the medal matches taking place on the 19th February 2026 with USA, Canada, Finland, Czechia & Switzerland in Group A whist hosts Italy are hoined by Germany, Sweden, Japan and France in Group B

It's that time of year again when we dust off the gladrags and discover who takes home the trophy at the PWHL Awards 2025 however this year's awards season was a bit of a dull affair as all of the winners were fairly obvious from the start

A huge historic moment took place in the day of the Entry Draft in Ottawa as the Hockey Hall of Fame announced the 2025 Class which includes Montreal Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau who becomes the first woman to be inducted in the builder category

This is a huge moment for women's hockey in general and as such the entire Purple Trio comes together to share their thoughts in fact there is so much passion on display that one of us literally gets put in the sin bin
