Canada shuffles its captains, but keeps its goals, at women’s world hockey championship Globe_Sports
Canada's Brianne Jenner, background, Loren Gabel and Brigette Lacquette celebrate during a Group A match against Finland at the women's world hockey championship, in Espoo, Finland, on April 9, 2019.The dynamic in Canada’s leadership shifted during the women’s world hockey championship.
Poulin skated in practices and pregame warm-ups, and was on the bench in her gear during games to support her teammates while she neared a return to action. “Letters on the jersey only shows part of the story,” Jenner said. “There are a lot of people that are leading in that room.” “Every game, she’s bringing it. Especially on that power play, I’m excited to be at the front of the net when she’s shooting at me.”
Given the uncertainty surrounding Poulin’s knee, head coach Perry Pearn said the team prepared for her possible absence during training camp in Toronto. “Leadership is a situational thing. Different people step up at different times. We have a group of six players that we’ve identified as our leadership group. They’ve been on point going back to Toronto.”The world championship field expanded from eight to 10 countries this year.
