Marie-Philip Poulin CQ (born March 28, 1991) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward and captain of Montreal of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). She is also the captain of the Canadian national ice hockey team.
A three-time Olympic gold medallist and four-time World Champion with the Canadian national team, Poulin famously scored the game-winning goal in the gold medal games in three out of four of the Olympics in which she competed (2010, 2014 and 2022), for which she was dubbed Captain Clutch by her teammates and the media.[1][2][3][4] Following another game-winning goal at the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship, she completed an unprecedented "golden goal hat trick" at major international championships.[5] Since 2015 she has served as the captain of Team Canada, leading them to a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics and a gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[6]
Professionally, Poulin played for and captained Les Canadiennes de Montreal in the now-defunct Canadian Women's Hockey League, before joining the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA), a non-profit dedicated to increasing the professionalization of women's hockey, in 2019. In 2023, she signed with Montreal in the newly established PWHL. While playing with Les Canadiennes, she won the Clarkson Cup twice and was named CWHL MVP three times.[7] She is the first female hockey player to win the Northern Star Award as Canada's top athlete of the year, and the second to receive the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award as The Canadian Press' female athlete of the year.[8][9][10] She is widely considered to be one of the greatest women's hockey players of all time.[11][3][12]
