Stacey will keep her A but she'll be the one to temporarily replace the captain. I'm also certain that Tabin will officially get her A for the entire season this year, since she wore it a few times during the 2025-2026 season. The third A remains a mystery to me. I really don't know who could wear it. I won't lie, I like the idea of Lungbloom, but I'm not sure if she's quite there yet. Labelle would also be a good choice, but her one-year contract bothers me in this situation bc this year, one-year contracts aren't guaranteed, so I don't know if the team will go in that direction for the third A not knowing how that will play out.

I an see Ljungblom with an A.

It doesn't matter who get's the third A cause Laura is the highest ranked A and Tabin will likely get the other one. When Pou comes back she has her C again and the third A not needed anymore.

I can't see either how Mattivi can help as A. Honestly I want Lavelle or Dunois as A.

Not to take anything away from Tabin, and especially Darkangelo and Boulier, but their 'A's weren't permanent/official. It was just a temporary thing because of league rules that probably don't allow a team to run with only one alternate captain, especially when the captain and your second A are missing from the team at the same time. I find that a bit ridiculous considering Laura was still there and was the highest-ranking A. The refs already went directly to her anyway. So I didn’t really understand the urgency of having other temporary A's on the team. That said, those extra A's were likely handed out to keep some leadership going in the room, for the players themselves, rather than just for on-ice duties.

Mattivi doesn't deserve the A. They should give the A to a player who i longer at Montreal.

If I’m not mistaken, Per the 2025-2026 PWHL rulebook, there is no obligation to name another C if Poulin is officially under contract with the team even if she is not dressed.

Anon who is asking me if Eldridge and Roque are together. I don’t know.

Pou really says before I have surgery and have to wear a brace and carry crutches with my, I wanna have fun. I respect that so much.

AF2 is also Lauras main one. AF2 is in charge of her and Pous contracts. AT CKM she is responsible for Player Support & Talent Identification

Some useless facts but who cares:

I hope Wag Pou can attend the WC in Denmark. Maybe as lucky charm for Canada.

I don't think it's bad. I believe :much bigger role," implies a promotion as Alternate Captain and honestly Laura deserves it.

"she’ll probably play a much bigger role in " No shade to this anon, I know she/he didn't mean any harm by it, but honestly, I don't know how Laura could have a bigger role on the national team considering she was literally already the most used player during the Olympics and for good reason. She was by far the best and the one who showed up most consistently, game after game.

Let’s look on the bright side. We’ll get to see WAG Pou for the World Championships in November and part of the season for La Victoire too😁

I feel sorry for Stacey. She has to be a shoulder to lean and cry on for Pou, while simultaneously serving as a leader for Montreal. I don't expect much leadership support from Tabin, who will most likely take over Ambrose's spot as an 'A' and the role of the temporary third alternate, since Tabin isn't a leader type.

She is strong and I won’t advise any athlete (amateur or young ones) to follow her path. I admire her strength and how she decided to help her team despite her injuries, huge ones I will add, huge injuries but I can’t help and be sad about it. How she could even Stand let alone be MVP of the playoffs with huge injuries like that: she is not human.
