There’s a lot going on in women’s hockey these days. Montreal’s LPHF team played to a packed house at the Bell Centre on April 20, and on Thursday night confirmed their playoff berth.
But now the organization’s presence has been taken to another level as three players made an appearance in the STAT daily final.
Marie-Philip Poulin, Ann-Marie Desbiens and Ann-Sophie Bettez appeared in the series that has replaced District 31 on Radio-Canada for the past two years.
A little hope and comfort before saying “see you next season”. Thank you for sharing your daily life with us, for another 120 episodes. The conclusion of STAT season 2, after the break… #STAT #ICISTAT @baroblik pic.twitter.com/wPZyC5IHOi

In this daily, Romy is a teenager recovering from a serious accident. During her convalescence, she didn’t miss a single game of the Montreal team, even if she watched them on tape delay.
Before leaving the hospital, she received the star of her idols in a touching scene.

Beyond the situation, it’s a great initiative on the part of the Montreal team. It not only gives the team great visibility in the run-up to the playoffs, but also provides a moment of realism for Radio-Canada’s daily show.
These are scenes that happen for real when professional players visit youngsters in hospitals. These are unique and unforgettable moments for everyone involved.
As far as I know, this is the first professional Montreal team to appear on a TV show of this kind. Would it inspire the Habs, Alouettes or Montreal CF to accept such requests?
Who knows, but it’s all good publicity.
