Jillian Saulnier and Geneviève Lacasse couldn’t be happier earlier this month when they were acquired by Les Canadiennes in a blockbuster trade with the Calgary Inferno.
It simply isn’t usual for one Olympian to be traded, never mind two at the same time.
But in the CWHL, when players can control where they play, both decided to make the move back East.
Lacasse was born in Montreal and grew up mainly in Kingston as part of a military family, but was back in Montreal for two years in high school. Most of her family is from the area as well.
