Poulin among 12 Canadian gold medallists picked for PWHL 3-on-3 showcase at NHL All-Star Weekend

Twelve of Canada's gold medallists from the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing will help present the best in women's hockey at Scotiabank Arena on Feb. 1.

Marie-Philip Poulin highlights a standout group that will take the ice in the PWHL 3-on-3 Showcase, part of the NHL All-Star Thursday festivities. The leagues announced a full list of 24 players on Monday — half of them Canadian.

Poulin's Montreal teammates Laura Stacey, Ann-Renée Desbiens and Erin Ambrose also made the cut for the 20-minute game.

New York's Ella Shelton rounds out a large group of former Olympians participating that could have been even larger if her teammate and captain Micah Zandee-Hart, who was also part of Canada's gold medal campaign in Beijing, wasn't injured.

Meanwhile, with a whopping cumulative 146 Olympic and 46 World Championship medals among its list of chosen players, it's no wonder the United States will also be well represented at the showcase.
