Tousignant leads Canada past Team World for 1st win at Para Ice Hockey Women's World Challenge

Canada's women's Para hockey team bounced back at the Women's World Challenge with a 4-2 win over Team World on Friday in Green Bay, Wisc.

Para hockey pioneer Raphaëlle Tousignant led the way with a pair of highlight-reel goals and an assist, showcasing the offensive skills that helped her become the first-ever woman to make Canada's national team for the World Para Ice Hockey Championships last May.

While Para hockey is technically a mixed sport at the Paralympic level, only three female players have ever competed at the Games. The 21-year-old Tousignant is hoping to be the first for Canada.

Aubree Clements and Alyssa White also scored against Team World, which consists of players from 12 different countries.

Canada improved to 1-1 with the win, while Team World fell to 1-1 in the four-team tournament.
