Victoire de Montréal will continue to celebrate their Walter Cup victory on Tuesday when they are received in Ottawa by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
According to Carney’s official schedule, the meeting is to take place at 12:30 p.m. in Ottawa.
When Victoire beat the Ottawa Charge in the Women’s Professional Hockey League (LPHF) final to capture the Walter Cup, Carney congratulated the Montreal team on an “incredible and historic” season.
On social media, he pointed out that the Walter Cup had been won by a Canadian team for the first time. In the LPHF’s first two seasons, the Minnesota Frost had won the trophy.
This stop in Ottawa will represent another important moment for Victoire. Last week, the team was received at Montreal City Hall by Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada to sign the guest book.
Last Saturday, Victoire celebrated its first championship with its fans. Several thousand people were present along Sainte-Catherine Street and in the Quartier des Spectacles for the parade.
