Montréal's Marie-Philip Poulin fined $500, Dara Greig fined $250

NEW YORK AND TORONTO (February 18, 2025) – The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) today announced that, after two separate reviews by the PWHL Player Safety Committee, Montréal Victoire forward Marie-Philip Poulin has been fined $500 and Victoire forward Dara Greig has been fined $250. The fines are a result of actions in Saturday's game against the New York Sirens.

The incident reviewed for Poulin was her minor penalty for roughing against Emmy Fecteau at 7:52 of the second period, where it was determined that Poulin exhibited no attempt at playing the puck as she hit her opponent in retaliatory fashion. The incident reviewed for Greig was her minor penalty for boarding against Allyson Simpson at 3:53 of the second period, where it was determined that Greig's check was from behind and caused her opponent to impact the boards dangerously.

This is the first fine that Greig has been assessed in her PWHL career. Poulin was previously fined $250 following a review of a major penalty in a game against the Sirens on Feb. 2.

The PWHL Player Safety Committee monitors all games and is responsible for providing independent review and recommendations on supplementary discipline. Chaired by Jayna Hefford, PWHL Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations, the committee also includes Cassie Campbell-Pascall, PWHL Special Advisor; Bill McCreary, a former NHL referee and Hockey Hall of Fame member; Mike Murphy, a long-time NHL executive and former VP of Hockey Operations; Matt McMahon, a member of the NHL’s Player Safety department.

LAVAL, QC (February 18, 2025) – Maddie Rooney’s shutout performance backstopped Minnesota to a 4-0 win over Montréal, as the Frost ended the longest road trip in team history on a high note on Tuesday night at Place Bell. The shutout was Rooney’s, and Minnesota’s, first of the season, as the goaltender made 21 saves to secure her seventh win of season. The Frost snapped a three-game winless streak with the victory and moved into sole possession of second place in the standings, five points behind the league-leading Victoire.

Scoring began with less than two minutes left in the first period when Minnesota forward Liz Schepers netted her first goal of the season, re-directing a shot taken by teammate Claire Thompson from the point. Midway through the second frame, Kendall Coyne Schofield tallied the Frost’s second goal of the evening, giving the road team a two-goal lead heading into the final frame. Minnesota’s two remaining tallies came late in the third with back-to-back goals from Denisa Křížová––including an empty-netter––marking her first multi-goal game of the season. Montréal’s Elaine Chuli made 24 saves on 27 shots in her fifth start of the season. The loss snapped Montréal’s league-high six-game winning streak.

My policy normally has renewed in October, but I had made huge changes to it in April ‘24. I thinking it has changed the due date I went to look at my upcoming bill to find out the policy is inactive.

My insurance agent stopped carrying the company and notification was sent to my old address, one of the changes was a new address, the other was updated coverage.

Insurance company cannot sell me insurance because of a non compete with the agent. Agent said that does not exist. Call insurance carrier to get policy info that was updated in April, they never enacted the quote.

NEWARK, NJ (February 17, 2025) – Hilary Knight and Alina Müller combined for five points to lead the Boston Fleet to a 4-1 win over the New York Sirens in a Presidents’ Day matinee at Prudential Center. The Fleet earned their second regulation win in six days against the Sirens and have now won all four games of the season series to date. Müller tallied the opening goal halfway through the first period on the power play, with Knight earning the primary helper. Boston held their 1-0 lead until early in the second period when the Sirens capitalized on a five-minute power play. Goaltender Kayle Osborne made a stretch pass to Jessie Eldridge who converted on the breakaway to tie things up 1-1. Just over 10 minutes later, it was Knight who scored on a breakaway, set up by Müller, to launch a series of three unanswered goals for the Fleet. In the third frame, Jamie Lee Rattray tallied an unassisted goal at 7:36, followed by Knight’s second of the game at 17:45 to cap her first career multi-goal and three-point performance. Aerin Frankel made 35 saves on 36 shots in her eighth win of the season. Osborne recorded 19 saves on 22 shots. The win moves the Fleet into a three-way tie for second place in the league with 26 points alongside Toronto and Minnesota. The sixth-place Sirens extended their losing streak to five.
