Episode Details

🏆 What does it really take to win when the pressure is at its highest?

On this very special Championship Edition of Our Girls Play Hockey, we sit down with Olympic gold medalist and Walter Cup champion Hayley Scamurra for part one of a two-part conversation about the Montreal Victoire’s unforgettable playoff run.

And this is not just any championship story.

Hayley became the first female hockey player in history to win Olympic gold and a Walter Cup championship in the same season, making this one of the most remarkable years in women’s hockey. In this episode, Hayley takes us inside the Montreal Victoire’s first-round playoff battle against the Minnesota Frost — a series packed with overtime drama, razor-thin margins, pressure, resilience, and championship-level belief. 

✨ In this episode, we cover:

•  🏒 Hayley’s historic season and what it means for women’s hockey 
•  🏆 The growth of the PWHL and the rise of the Montreal Victoire 
•  🔥 Why Montreal chose to face Minnesota in the playoffs 
•  ⏱️ The emotional and physical toll of triple overtime playoff hockey 
•  🧠 How elite players reset after tough losses 
•  💪 What championship mentality looks like in real time 
•  🥅 Hayley’s role in key defensive moments, faceoffs, and matchups 
•  👏 The importance of leadership, confidence, and trusting the process 

Hayley also opens up about the uncertainty that existed before the PWHL became reality — including moments when she wondered whether she should keep playing — and reflects on just how far women’s hockey has come in such a short time.

This episode is a must-listen for girls hockey players, hockey parents, coaches, and anyone who wants to understand what it takes to compete, lead, and win at the highest level.
