ECHL team interested in signing Marie-Philip Poulin

After leading Canada to the gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Marie-Philip Poulin has cemented her legacy as one of, if not the greatest women's hockey player of all-time.

Poulin has accomplished a ton on the international stage with Canada. She's won three Olympic gold medals, two Women's World Championship gold medals, as well as a handful of silver medals at the Women's World Championship and 2018 Winter Olympics.

Marie-Philip Poulin will turn 31 at the end of March, what could be next for the Beauceville (Quebec) native?

According to RDS, the Trois-Rivières Lions, ECHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens, have expressed interest in signing Marie-Philip Poulin.

If Poulin were to sign with the Lions, she would be the first female skater (forward or defenceman) to sign in the East Coast Hockey League. Retired goaltender and women's hockey trailblazer Manon Rhéaume played in the ECHL for a trio of teams during the mid-90's.
