The evolution of Marie-Philip Poulin in 15 points

From 2010 to 2015, the Québécois played for Boston University in the NCAA, captaining the team for two seasons.

At the age of 18, Poulin took part in her first Olympic Games, in Vancouver in 2010, as the youngest player in the Canadiens squad. She scored her team’s only two goals, in a 2-0 victory over the USA in the final.

in Sochi in 2014, Marie-Philip was just as “clutch”, scoring the tying and winning goals in the gold medal match.

Between 2015 and 2019, number 29 played in the now-defunct Canadian Women’s Hockey League, playing for the Canadiennes.

In recognition of her success and leadership, Marie-Philip was elected Canada’s captain for the PyeongChang Olympic Games.

in his first term as Canada’s captain at the Olympics, M-P-P experienced adversity. Canada lost 3-2 in a shootout, ultimately winning the silver medal.

One of Marie-Philip’s faithful companions is Arlo, who regularly appears on her Instagram posts.

After their setback in 2018, the Canadiens took gold in Beijing 2022. “Captain Clutch” threaded the needle in a fourth gold-medal game, a first. She also scored the winning goal against the USA. It should be noted that she, along with Charles Hamelin, carried her country’s flag at the opening ceremony of the event.

In 2022, Marie-Philip Poulin was offered a job with the Montreal Canadiens as a part-time player development consultant.

In 2024, Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey, a teammate in life and on the ice, said “I do” for life.

2024 was a landmark year for women’s hockey, as the LPHF came into being, including the Montreal team. Marie-Philip Poulin was named club captain!

In June 2024, the 33-year-old francophone received, via Premier François Legault, the title of Chevalière de l’Ordre national du Québec, awarded to people who shape Quebec in their own way.

In preparation for the 2024-2025 campaign, the Montreal team announced its new colors, while the name of Victoire was unveiled, still led by Marie-Philip.

In January 2025, La Victoire played a game against the Ottawa Charge, live from the Centre Vidéotron in Quebec City, to promote women’s hockey in that region. The Beauceronne was thus back home, as she is a native of Beauceville, not far from Quebec City.

To add prestige to her 2024 year, Poulin helped Canada triumph in the gold medal final against the USA, good for her 13th title in the country’s history at this tournament.
