CUP CLINCHED IN OTTAWA
La Victoire de Montréal has claimed the Walter Cup, the premier trophy in the LPHF. The team secured their victory in a decisive Game 4, defeating the Charge by a score of 4-0 in Ottawa. This marks the first time the Montreal-based franchise has won this championship since its inception.
The decisive moment arrived with three goals in the third period, effectively sealing the win for Montreal.
The win comes after a hard-fought series where Montreal made sure "not to play the same trick twice," managing their lead to secure the championship on Wednesday evening. The victory parade for the cup, a significant trophy for Canada, is anticipated upon their return.

Her performance, described as initially appearing "shaken" and having "difficulty controlling rebounds," ultimately held strong throughout the crucial final period. Player Sarah Wozniewicz also had a notable moment, with a shot hitting the post.
