For the Canadian Women’s Hockey League, the two-game set between Les Canadiennes de Montreal and the Calgary Inferno on December 10-11 marked a pair of milestones. For the league, it was a celebration of its 10th anniversary, while Les Canadiennes forward Caroline Ouellette, one of the longest-tenured players in the CWHL, became the first to reach 300 career points.
From the moment to puck dropped on Saturday afternoon, media and fans stared at Ouellette, waiting for that seminal goal or assist.
The scrutiny is likely something she's used to, given that she has played 151 regular season games with the CWHL over eight years, has won four Olympic gold medals with Team Canada and coaches and runs her own annual tournament in Montreal.
