The victorious Montreal Victoire lifted the Walter Cup on home soil Thursday morning after winning the trophy for the first time in the team’s history.
The Victoire defeated the Charge 4-0 in Ottawa on Wednesday night to take the best-of-five Professional Women’s Hockey League final in four games, making them the first Canadian team to win the Cup.
Forward Alexandra Labelle said it was the “cherry on top” to win with a shutout.
“It’s amazing and we’re champions,” she said. “Last night was pretty fun … we drank from the Cup.”
Fans clapped and cheered, “Let’s go Victoire!” to welcome the players donning caps and T-shirts with their team logo….
