PWHPA Dream Gap Tour season kicks off in Montreal as Team Sonnet, Team Adidas claim wins

The Professional Women's Hockey Players' Association's Dream Gap Tour kicked off the first stop of its fourth season on Saturday with a pair of games in Montreal.

The Montreal showcase at Verdun Auditorium is the first of three upcoming stops, with events to follow in Truro, N.S., (Nov. 4-6) and Pittsburgh (Nov. 25-27). Each stop will include all four PWHP teams, showcasing some of the top women's hockey players in North America.

Team Sonnet started things off on Saturday with a 4-2 win over Team Scotiabank, while Team Adidas stormed back for a 4-2 win over Team Harvey's later in the day.

"It feels awesome. I think we got better very period. Collectively it was an all around great effort." Ambrose said after the win.

Alexa Vasko and Abby Roque also scored for Team Sonnet, while Keller and four-time Canadian Olympian Rebecca Johnston found the back of the net for Team Scotiabank.
