MONTREAL (AP) \u2014 Montreal Victoire captain Marie-Philip Poulin revealed Thursday she played through a torn ACL and a torn meniscus in her right knee to help the team capture the PWHL championship and is expected to be out indefinitely after surgery set for late July.<\/p>\n

Poulin, 35, was initially injured in the preliminary round at the Olympics but still played for Canada in the knockout stage to help it reach the final before losing to the U.S. in overtime and leaving Milan with silver. She aggravated the injury on March 15 when Montreal played Boston.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is emotional. Hockey, it is my life,\u201d Poulin said, fighting back tears during a video news conference with Victoire general manager Dani\u00e8le Sauvageau. \u201cIt\u2019s the journey of an athlete where you give your 100% every day, things can happen, and that\u2019s part of it. Not that I\u2019m looking forward to it, but I am looking forward to (stepping) up in that recovery room, in that training room, to go one day at a time and come back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sauvageau said the Victoire will provide updates as they become available, adding the team is confident Poulin will return to play \u201cin due time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poulin missed 10 games after reinjuring the knee in March, then was playoff MVP for her role in Montreal\u2019s first Walter Cup title run, with two goals and six assists in nine games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t lie, yes, it was painful. Mentally and physically, it was difficult,\u201d Poulin said. \u201cIt was hard, but to be honest, I knew the team we had was very special. I knew we were in a position to put ourselves in a very good spot to win the Walter Cup. It was one of our goals, and it was one of my goals. It was worth it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew all the risks, what was for it and what was against it, and what I had to do. At the end of the day, I was 100% committed. And I was very happy to lift that Cup at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poulin is widely regarded as one of the greatest women\u2019s hockey players of all time. She has won three Olympic gold medals, scoring the winning goal in all three of those finals to earn the nickname \u201cCaptain Clutch.\u201d<\/p>\n

A five-time Olympian, Poulin also is the Canadian women\u2019s team\u2019s all-time leading goal scorer at the Winter Games with 20.<\/p>\n

Poulin is the PWHL\u2019s all-time leading scorer with 38 goals and 67 points in 70 games since the league began play in 2024. She was named league MVP in 2025.<\/p>\n

This past season, Poulin recorded nine goals and nine assists in 19 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any words to describe Marie, to start with, and what she had decided following this injury. It was not a \u2018for sure\u2019 to be back during the playoffs,\u201d Sauvageau said. \u201cTo go through this process, not knowing if it\u2019s gonna work, it was unbelievable to watch \u2026 This is what Marie-Philip is all about, a person of (few) words, but so much more action. And this is how she leads.<\/p>\n

\u201c(The goal) is to be back as long as possible. We love watching her, we love having her around, she\u2019s bigger than the sport itself and the sport needs her.\u201d<\/p>\n
