Les Canadiennes won the regular-season title, but the Markham Thunder may very well be the best team in the CWHL.
The Thunder extended their winning streak to eight games dating back to the regular season, and have not lost in regulation in 18 games.
On Sunday, a hat trick from Jenna McParland led the Thunder to a 4-1 victory at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard as they swept their best-of-three series in two games and will move on to the Clarkson Cup Final.
It is the first time in four years that Montreal will not play for the CWHL championship.
