About This Speaker: Marie-Philip Poulin
Marie-Philip Poulin is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre and the captain of both the Montreal Victoire in the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) and the Canadian national team. Widely regarded as one of the greatest women’s hockey players of all time, Poulin has achieved remarkable success throughout her career.
A three-time Olympic gold medallist and four-time World Champion with the Canadian national team, Poulin is renowned for her clutch performances on the world stage. She scored the game-winning goals in three out of four Olympic gold medal games, earning her the nickname “Captain Clutch.” In 2021, she achieved an unprecedented “golden goal hat trick” with another game-winning goal at the IIHF Women’s World Championship.
Since 2015, Marie-Philip Poulin has served as Team Canada’s captain, leading them to a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics and a gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Her consistent excellence and leadership have made her a symbol of success and resilience in women’s hockey.
Professionally, Poulin captained Les Canadiennes de Montréal in the now-defunct Canadian Women’s Hockey League (CWHL), winning the Clarkson Cup twice and earning CWHL MVP honors three times. In 2019, she joined the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association (PWHPA), a non-profit aimed at advancing women’s hockey. In 2023, she returned to Montreal to play in the newly formed PWHL.
Beyond her on-ice success, Marie-Philip Poulin is the first female hockey player to win the Northern Star Award as Canada’s top athlete of the year and the second to receive the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award as The Canadian Press’ Female Athlete of the Year. Her leadership and dedication to advancing women’s hockey make her a powerful speaker and role model.
