Hockey icon Marie-Philip Poulin to undergo knee surgery in July
The 35-year-old forward tore her ACL and meniscus after playing through the injury, and the Victoire said her return timeline is unclear.
- On Thursday, Montreal Victoire captain Marie-Philip Poulin announced she will undergo knee surgery in late July to repair a torn ACL and meniscus, sidelining the 35-year-old for an undetermined duration.
- Poulin sustained the initial injury during February's Milano-Cortina Olympics after a hit from Czechia's Kristyna Kaltounkova, then re-aggravated the knee on March 15 against the Boston Fleet.
- Playing through the injury, the captain led the Victoire to their first Walter Cup title and earned playoff MVP honors with two goals and six assists in nine games.
- Victoire general manager Danièle Sauvageau said Poulin will return "in due time," though the organization could not provide a specific timeline for her return to the ice.
- "In the short term, it's a difficult choice, but if I take a step back and think about the years ahead, the decision is obvious," Poulin said regarding her recovery.
