    In the first period, it would be the home Buffalo Beauts, who would strike first, the goal coming from Whitney Dove, her second goal of the season. A blast from the point that would get by everyone, including the goaltender.

    Before the end of the first period, the Beauts would double their lead in the game. The goal coming from Allison Attea, her first goal of the season, and her first career PHF goal. Another shot from the blue line that would elude everyone, including the goalkeeper’s glove and the puck would fly into the top corner of the net. The Beauts would take a 2-0 lead heading into the second period.

    Early in the second period, the Force would get on the board and cut into the Buffalo lead. The goal coming from Deziray De Sousa, her first goal of the season. She carried the puck up the left side of the offensive zone and let go a low shot that would get through the legs of Hofmann. The Force would still be down a goal heading into the third period.

    Early in the third period, Montreal would tie up the game. The goal would come from Kristina Shanahan, her first goal of the season. A shot from the point by Kaity Howarth would somehow avoid the bodies in front and the puck would find the stick of Catherine Dubois, who would make a backhand cross crease pass that would find Shanahan to deposit the puck into the net.

    Four minutes later, the Beauts would once again take the lead. The goal coming from Autumn MacDougall, her first goal of the season. MacDougall would slip behind the Force’s defense and she would bust in on the breakaway. She looked like she was going to lose the puck, but at the last moment, she regained possession and was able to lift the puck and shoot it into the roof of the net.

    According to the boxscore, that was the only shot taken by the Beauts in the third period, and it would prove to be the game winner, as the Beauts would hold on to defeat Montreal by a score of 3-2.

    Tera Hofmann would get the start for the Buffalo Beauts, and she would face 33 shots, making 31 saves. While Marie-Soleil Deschenes would start for the Montreal Force, she would face 18 shots, making 15 saves.

    2022-23 Aperçu

    Pour la première fois depuis 2020, il y aura une nouvelle équipe jouant dans le PHF. La Force de Montréal est la septième franchise de la PHF et la deuxième équipe basée au Canada. Maintenant, normalement, je poserais 3 questions pour la saison à venir, des choses à surveiller. Cependant, comme il s’agit d’une nouvelle équipe, je suis à peu près sûr que je ne suis pas assez intelligent pour poser les bonnes questions pour la Force à l’approche de la saison.

    Ce que je vais faire, c’est discuter de la façon dont les nouvelles équipes se comportent lors de leur saison inaugurale dans le PHF. Considérant que la dernière nouvelle équipe était les Six de Toronto, leur première saison était en 2020-21, ils ont ensuite accumulé un record de 4-1-1 avec un différentiel de buts de +7. Très impressionnants, ils ont malheureusement été évincés en demi-finale par les futurs champions Boston Pride cette année-là. Nous devrions également regarder l’autre nouvelle équipe précédente qui est entrée dans la ligue et ce qu’ils ont fait au cours de leur première année. Les Whitecaps du Minnesota étaient une équipe établie, mais ont rejoint la NWHL en 2018-19. Leur dossier ? Ils sont allés 12-4-0 avec un différentiel de buts de +19, et pendant les séries éliminatoires, ils ont battu les Beauts de Buffalo pour remporter la Coupe Isobel cette année-là. Serait-ce une tendance qui se poursuit avec l’entrée de la Force dans la ligue? C’est très bien possible, l’histoire serait de leur côté.

    Au moment d’écrire ces lignes le 27/10, il n’y a qu’un seul joueur dans la Force qui a une expérience antérieure dans la NWHL/PHF, et ce joueur est l’attaquant Brooke Stacey. Elle a déjà joué pour les Buffalo Beauts en 2019-20 et 2020-21. Elle a joué 20 matchs, amassant 8 buts et ajoutant 9 passes décisives pour 17 points au cours de ces deux saisons. Il convient de mentionner que bon nombre des autres joueurs de la Force sont des vétérans de la PWHPA et des vétérans de la LCHF, qui ont tous la grande capacité de mettre la rondelle dans le filet.

    Il devrait être très intéressant de voir ce qui se passe cette saison à venir pour la Force. Quelles rivalités se formeront lors de leur première année ? Qui marquera son premier but dans l’histoire de la franchise ? Qui sera leur meilleur buteur ? Toutes les questions que j’ai hâte de voir trouver une réponse alors qu’ils prennent la glace. Bienvenue à la Ligue Montréal Force!

    2022-23 Preview

    For the first time since 2020, there will be a new team playing in the PHF. The Montreal Force are the seventh franchise of the PHF, and the second team based in Canada. Now, normally I would ask 3 questions for the season upcoming, things to look out for. However, since this is a new team, I’m pretty sure that I’m not smart enough to ask the right questions for the Force heading into the season.

    What I am going to do is discuss how new teams fair during their inaugural season in the PHF. Considering, the last new team was the Toronto Six, their first season was in 2020-21, they went on to accrue a record of 4-1-1 with a +7 goal differential. Very impressive, unfortunately they were bounced in the semifinals by the eventual champions Boston Pride that year. We should also look at the other previous new team that entered the league and what they did during their first year. The Minnesota Whitecaps were an established team, but joined the then NWHL in 2018-19. Their record? They went 12-4-0 with a +19 goal differential, and during the playoffs, would go on to defeat the Buffalo Beauts to win the Isobel Cup that year. Could it be a trend that continues with the Force now entering the league? It very well could be, history would be on their side.

    As of writing this on 10/27, there is only one player on the Force that has any previous NWHL/PHF experience, and that player is forward Brooke Stacey. She previously played for the Buffalo Beauts in 2019-20 and 2020-21. She played 20 games, amassing 8 goals and adding another 9 assists for 17 points in those two seasons. It is definitely worth mentioning that a lot of the other players on the Force are PWHPA veterans and CWHL veterans, who all have the great ability to put the puck in the net.

    It should be very interesting to see what shakes out this season upcoming for the Force. What rivalries will be formed during their first year? Who will score their first goal in franchise history? Who will be their leading scorer? All questions I can’t wait to see being answered as they take the ice. Welcome to the League Montreal Force!
