Talentueuse, candide, authentique, rebelle, Abby Roque a tous les éléments pour être une star à Montréal.

Et hier, elle a scoré autant sur la patinoire que dans la salle de presse.

La Victoire de Montréal a débuté sa saison et tout comme le résultat sur la patinoire, le résultat de l’auditoire n’a pas été aussi bon qu’il aurait pu être.

Emmy Fecteau is now in her second PWHL season. The Quebec forward is continuing to adjust to the level with the New York Sirens as a rare U Sports alumni in the league.

Emmy Fecteau Continues Adjustments In Second PWHL Season
Emmy Fecteau is one of only a small handful of U Sports players in the PWHL. Last year as a rookie, it was a big step. She continues that progress in her second season with the New York Sirens.

«Aucun des coachs ne me connaissait quand je suis arrivée à New York!» 

Même après avoir dominé au Canada, Emmy Fecteau était une pure inconnue à son arrivée à New York.

C’est troublant.

Que peut-on faire pour redorer le blason du RSEQ et du U Sports?

It is often said that the Montreal Victoire has trouble scoring goals, and the first game of the season reignited the debate.

But is that really the case?

I took the analysis a bit further, and the results are surprising.

On dit souvent que la Victoire a de la difficulté à marquer des buts et le premier match de la saison a relancé le débat.

Mais est-ce vraiment le cas?

J’ai poussé l’analyse un peu plus loin et les résultats sont surprenants.
